Svidence  of 
^laddms  Jeadership 

Aladdin  has  been  honored  the  past  two  or  three 
years  in  different  ways,  but  is  most  proud  of  the 
niedals  awarded  by  two  great  expositions.  The  Pan- 
ania-Pacitic  International  Exposition,  that  most  won- 
derful of  all  great  World's  Fairs,  and  the  Michigan 
Agricultural  Exposition  granted  "Les  Grandes  Prix,'* 
issuing  diplomas  as  shown  in  photographs  The  Pan- 
ama-Pacific medal  was  issued  upon  the  Model  Cot- 
tage which  Aladdin  produced  and  erected  for  Uncle 
Sam,  while  the  Michigan  Exposition  Medal  was  the 
result  of  our  building  a  Kentucky  bungalow  at  the  fair 
for  the  Northeastern  Michigan  Development  Bureau. 
Official  record  is  made  in  the  Diploma  that  The  Alad- 
din Company  originated,  perfected  and  established 
the  Readi-Cut  System  of  Construction.  These  facts 
are  quoted  here  merely  as  additional  evidence  of 
Aladdin's  leadership  in  all  things  pertaining  to  Sci- 
entific Home  Building.  But  the  greatest  test  of  leader- 
ship is  the  universal  record  of  satisfaction  to  our 
customers.

The  /IMDDIN  Plan 


This  is  the  Fourteenth  Year  of  f^laddin  Success 

ALADDIN  Readi-Cut  Houses — The  Aladdin  System  of  Construction 
— may  be  new  to  you,  but  the  system  was  planned  and  put  in 
operation  fourteen  years  ago.  Its  merits,  its  wonderful  simplicity, 
was  immediately  recognized  by  the  American  public.  The  result 
is  that  practically  every  year  the  history  of  the  business  shows  a  doubling 
and  trebling  in  the  volume  and  number  of  houses  sold.  You  know  that  this 
wonderful  growth  would  be  impossible  for  any  manufacturing  institution, 
or  any  business  house,  unless  customers  became  friends — unless  real  service 
was  rendered — honest  value,  square  business  methods,  and  integrity  pre- 
vailed. 

The  United  States  Government  has  used  The  Aladdin  Company's  standard  readi-cut 
specifications  in  advertising  for  bids  for  the  construction  of  houses  on  government  projects. 
This  is  not  only  official  endorsement  of  the  Readi-Cut  system  of  construction,  but  recogni- 
tion of  the  7iierit  of  The  Aladdin  Company's  specifications. 

Integrity  of  the  Aladdin  Policy 

Integrity  means  moral  soiiiuhiess ;  it  means  hotiesty ;  it  means  freedom 
from  corrupting  influence  or  practice ;  it  means  strictness  in  the  fulfilment 
■of  contracts,  uprightness,  square  dealing.  The  Aladdin  policy  of  doing 
business  endeavors  to  live  up  to  the  strictest  meaning  of  Integrity.  The 
customer  must  be  well  served — must  be  satisfied — must  be  pleased — must 
be  a  friend.  The  Golden  Rule  must  govern  every  transaction.  You  who 
read  this  are  entitled  to  know  the  truth  of  the  above  statement.  Well,  then, 
demand  of  us  that  proof  in  whatever  way  you  wish.  Shall  we  give  you 
bankers,  congressmen,  postmasters,  city.  State  or  National  Govermnent 
officials,  or,  better  than  all,  shall  we  refer  you  to  customers  who  have  tested 
our  integrity,  customers  in  your  own  neighborhood  ?  The  proof  is  yours  for 
the  asking. 

The  f^laddin  System  of  Construction  is  Built  on  This 

Principle: 

Modern  power-driven  machines  can  do  better  work  at  a  lower  cost  than 
hand  labor.  Then  every  bit  of  work  that  can  be  done  b\  machine  should 
be  so  done.  The  steel  worker  with  a  little  hack-saw  trying  to  cut  and  fit 
the  steel  girders  of  the  modern  skyscraper  should  be  no  more  out  of  place 
than  the  modern  carpenter  cutting  sills,  joists,  and  rafters.  The  skyscraper 
framework  is  cut  to  fit  by  machines  in  the  steel  mills,  marked  and  num- 
bered ready  for  erection.  The  lumber  in  the  Aladdin  house  is  cut  to  fit  by 
machines  in  the  Aladdin  mills,  marked  and  numbered  ready  for  erection. 
The  steel  system  is  twenty-six  years  old — the  Aladdin  system  fourteen  years 
old.

HR  wonderful  mone\ -saving  results  of  the  Aladdin  Readi-Cut  Sys- 
tem will  be  understood  after  reading  this  page.  Nowhere  in  tlie 
history  of  manufacturing  or  building  since  history  began  can  be 
found  an  e\am])le  equal  to  that  which  is  a  part  of  every  day's  work 
in  the  Aladdin  designing  rooms  and  in  the  Aladdin  mills. 

Think  of  taking  a  six-inch  board  sixteen  feet 
long  and  getting  t-a'cnty  feet  of  six-inch  hoard 
out  of  it:

'I'liink  of  vour  own  good  money  it  saves.' 

To  eliminate  waste  by  scientific  plan- 
ning, designing,  and  cutting  of  lumber  is  to 
save  your  money  from  the  waste  pile. 

\V.  J.  Sovereign,  jiresident  of  The  Alad- 
din Company,  conceived  this  tremendous 
thought,  originated,  perfected,  and  estab- 
lished the  system.

and  what  it 


TTrlw/ 1  L#      means  to  i|ou 

"Only    Thirty-five   per   cent   of   the  original  tree  emerges 
in  the  form  of  a   building." — Saturday  Evening  Post. 

FECIAL  investigation  of  waste  of  lumber  in  the  construction  of  dwellings  re- 

S    suited  in  the  following  statement  by  a  writer  in  the  Retail  Lunibermatt: 
"A    safe    estimate    of    good    lumber    wasted    in    course    of    construction 
is  25%." 

These  two  bare  statements  are  quoted  from  such  unquestionable  sources  to 
give  special  weight  to  our  very  conservative  statement : 

You  will  pay  for  1S%  waste  when  you  build  the  old  uray. 

Eighteen  per  cent  of  your  money  will  pay  for  material  you  don't  get — eighteen 
dollars  out  of  every  hundred  spent  in  your  home — wasted. 

When  this  statement  was  first  made  by  us  it  was  ridiculed  by  the  lumbermen.  The 
passing  years  have  wrought  changes  in  their  ideas  until  now,  when  pinned  down, 
they  will  admit  that  it  is  conservative. 

We  hair  reduced  the  item  of  waste  to  approximately  2%. 

The  architect,  in  designing  a  house  seldom  considers  the  subject  of  cutting  material 
to  waste.  He  lays  out  the  dimensions  of  the  house,  places  windows,  doors,  etc.,  without 
any  thought  of  how  the  material  will  cut.  The  contractor  orders  so  many  thousand 
feet  of  siding,  of  flooring,  of  2  x  4,  of  2  x  6,  etc.,  without  any  thought  as  to  the 
utilization  of  mill-run  lengths.  You,  of  course,  know  that  sawmills  cut  logs  in  certain 
lengths,  10  feet,  12  feet,  14  feet  and  16  feet,  and  it  comes  through  the  planing  mill  in 
those  same  lengths.  It  also  comes  to  the  contractor  in  the  same  lengths.  When  the 
carpenter  cuts  the  siding  to  fit  between  two  windows,  the  windows  may  be  10  feet 
1  inch  apart.  He  has  to  take  14  pieces  of  siding  each  12  feet  long  and  cut  each  one  of 
them  10  feet  1  inch,  wasting  1  foot  11  inches,  or  about  18%  of  good  lumber  abso- 
lutely wasted.     The  principle  is  the  same  throughout  the  entire  house. 

This  waste  is  eliminated  by  the  Aladdin  designers  and  the  Aladdin  Readi-Cut 
system. 

Our  buyers  go  actually  into  the  woods,  confer  with  the  owners  and  cutters  of  the 
timber  and  buy  the  right  lengths  that  will  come  out  of  the  woods,  through  the  saw- 
mills and  into  our  own  mills  in  the  right  lengths.  We  don't  take  raw  material  in 
lengths  and  sizes  as  it  chances  to  come,  but  as  it  should  come  to  conform  to  our 
standards.  In  many  instances  the  cross-cut  saw  in  the  hands  of  the  woodsman  is 
actually  directed  by  our  needs  so  that  no  other  saw  is  touched  to  the  lumber  at  any  time. 

Each  one  of  our  special  gang  cut-off  saws  is  designed  to  cut  50,000  feet  of  studding 
and  joists  every  day.  It  does  the  work  that  would  require  a  veritable  army  of  carpen- 
ters to  do,  and  it  does  it  with  the  wonderful  perfection  and  accuracy  of  high-class 
machinery. 

You  can  easily  imagine  the  dollars  saved  to  you 
in  the  cost  of  your  home,  accomplished  by  this  re- 
markable system  of  saving  waste  that  reaches  into 
the  very  forest  and  untiringly  searches  every  item, 
every  operation,  every  movement  to  cut  out  and  to 
eliminate  the  waste  of  your  money. 

When  the  architect  overlooks  something  or  makes 
a  mistake,  you  pay  the  bill ;  when  the  contractor 
overlooks  something,  or  makes  a  mistake,  you  pay 
for  that,  too ;  and  when  the  carpenter  uses  poor 
judgment,  overlooks  something  or  makes  a  mistake, 
you  are  the  one  to  stand  the  cost  of  his  mistake. 
It's  always  your  money — not  the  other's. 

The  more  brains,  the  more  organization,  the 
more  counsel  given  to  any  matter,  the  less  chance  for 
mistakes,  and  the  Aladdin  Board  of  Seven,  described 
on  another  page,  is  your  safeguard.

To  him  who  says  the  Readi-Cut  System  is  not  possible  or  practicable, 
point  to  the  Pyramids  of  Egypt,  refer  to  Solomon's  Temple  as  de- 
scribed in  the  Bible,  or  inspect  Washington  Monument,  or  the  57- 
story  Woohvorth  Building  in  New  York  City.  You  will  iind  that 
each  was  prepared,  erected  and  completed  by  the  Readi-Cut  System.  But 
it  remained  for  W.  J.  Sovereign  to  first  apply  the  system  to  your  benefit  in 
the  building  of  a  home.  And  thousands  of  American  families  scattered 
over  this  broad  land  will  testify  to  its  economy  and  practical  success. 

The  pyramids  aren't  portable,  the  Woolworth  Building  is  not  portal^le, 
nor  are  Aladdin  houses  portable. 

If  you  attempted  to  tear  apart,  or  dissect  an  Alad- 
din house,  the  most  expert  contractor  could  not  tell  it 
from  any  other  first  class  frame  dwelling  because 
there  is  no  difference. 


At  the  bottom  of  this  page  is  a  striking  illustration 
of  the  Readi-Cut  System  of  construction  successfully 
used  for  twenty-five  years  in  steel-building  construc- 
tion. Note  the  "studding"  for  the  two  side  walls,  all 
in  position  with  the  "joist  hanger"  placed.  These 
studs  are  about  thirty  feet  high.  In  the  foreground 
are  shown  some  of  the  rafters,  with  the  marks  and 
numbers  indicating  their  respective  positions — "6201- 
I6-C0I-22."  There  is  no  fitting  or  cutting  on  the 
ground.  The  sawing,  measuring,  and  fitting  were 
done  in  the  steel  mills  in  Pittsburgh.     How  can  they 

do  this  work?  Why, 
r  the  structural  engi- 
neers know  how.  It's 
their  particular 
business.  It's  their 
lifework.  So  it  is 
with  Aladdin  Readi- 
Cut  houses.  The 
same  principles  gov- 
ern each  job.  It's 
the  same  system. 


BeadlCut  System  of  Construction. 


'\fhe£umber 
"We  "Use 


EVERY  piece  of  framing  and  sheath- 
ing lumber  in  every  Aladdin  house 
has  been  carefully  selected  from 
the  highest  grade.  It  is  carefully 
inspected  by  experienced  men,  and  if  not  up  to  a  high  standard  is  not  used.  This  is 
an  extremely  important  point  and  you  should  consider  it  carefully.  Our  facilities  for 
buying  high  grades  are  unsurpassed  by  any  manufacturer  of  lumber  in  the  country. 
This  means  much  to  the  purchaser — to  know  the  quality  of  all  materials  used,  to 
know  that  the  lumber  and  timber  are  the  best;  that  it  is  well  seasoned,  sound,  and  of 
first  quality  throughout. 

All  the  interior  finish,  doors,  etc.,  are  put  through  three  separate  sanding  machines, 
making  a  beautiful  finish. 

Scores  have  written,  "It  would  have  been  impossible  to  obtain  locally,  finish  at  any 
price  to  equal  that  furnished  in  my  Aladdin."  [Such  names  and  addresses  gladly 
furnished  on  request.] 

What  You  Get  When  You  Buy  an  Aladdin  House 

^Material  that  is  unsurpassed  by  any  other  concern  in  the  country,  and  it  is  not 
only  perfectly  cut  to  fit,  but  cut  with  a  view  of  saving  all  waste,  which  means  a  direct 
saving  to  you.  But  the  saving  does  not  stop  there.  We  mortise  all  doors  to  receive 
the  lock  sets,  all  interior  finish  sanded,  and  flooring  steel  scraped. 

Bear  in  mind  that  when  you  buy  an  Aladdin  house  that  the  foundation  sill,  floor 
joists,  the  sub  flooring,  the  regular  tongued  and  grooved  flooring,  the  studding,  the  wall 
sheathing,  the  siding,  the  window  and  door  frames,  the  outside  finish,  the  rafters,  the 
roof  sheathing,  the  steps,  the  stairs,  all  porch  framing,  are  rcadi-cut,  ready  to  nail  into 
place.  Is  it  any  wonder  that  we  can  save  you  such  a  big  percentage  of  your  labor 
cost?  And  then  again,  the  enormous  quantities  in  which  we  buy  our  building  paper, 
lock  sets,  double  acting  door  hinges,  window  weights,  nails,  paints,  varnishes,  oils, 
stains,  hip  shingles,  tin  flashing,  etc.,  sets  them  down  at  your  door  for  less  than  a 
hardware  dealer  can  buy  them  from  the  jobber. 

Direct  from  the  Forest  to  the  Home 

Stop  and  think  what  that  means — "direct  from  the  forest  to  you."  It  means  that  you  are 
buying  your  house  at  the  same  price  it  costs  if  you  lived  right  here — riglit  wliere  most  of  the  timber 
grows — to  build  a  house.  It  means  that  your  house  costs  you  no  more  than  if  you  could  go  direct 
to  a  mill  at  the  edge  of  the  forest  and  buy  the  timber  and  lumber.  It  means  that  you  are  doing 
that  very  thing— buying  it  from  the  mill  at  the  edge  of  the  forest.  It  means  that  you  are  not  paying 
a  profit  to  the  big  jobber,  a  profit  to  the  big  ii-liotcsaler,  and  a  profit  to  the  local  lumber  dealer  at 
your  home,  and,  on  top  of  all  that,  the  freight  for  shipping  the  lumber  to  the  several  places 
where   each   does   business.      Another   thing,    each    of   the   above    lumber   dealers,    or   middlemen, 

sells  on  credit. 
They  all  add  from 
5%  to  10%  to 
make  up  for  bad 
accounts  —  losses 
which  are  charged 
up  in  your  bill. 
We  sell  for  cash 
only — we  have  no 
bad  accounts,  and 
are.  therefore,  not 
obliged  to  add 
enough  charges 
into  your  bill  to

pay-

f)(addin*s  Famous  "Dollar-A-Knof 
Guaranty 


A 


NEW  standard  of  lumber  quality  has  been 
given  to  the  world  by  Aladdin's  famous  "Dol- 
lar-A-Knot"    Guaranty. 

The  "Good-Enough"  lumber  grades,  the 
"Anything-will-do"  grades  and  the  multitudes  of 
evasive  substitutions  for  Clear  Knotless  lumber  have 
been  shown  up. 

You  cannot  be  expected  to  fathom  the  intricacies 
of  lumber  associations'  manual  of  grading  rules;  how 
many  circles,  hearts,  rings  and  barks  make  a  good  log. 
nor  how  many  knots,  spots,  pitch  pockets  or  worin 
holes  there  will  be  to  a  board. 

There  are  none  of  these  defects  in  your  dollar,  and 
there  should  be  none  in  what  you  trade  your  dollar 
for. 


Knotless  Means  Just  What  (t  Says 


"A-Dollar-A-Knot !"  Could  any  guar- 
anty be  plainer,  or  more  forceful,  or  more 
effective?  You  know  a  knot  when  you 
see  it,  and  you  know  it  makes  a  board 
less    valuable.     And    when    we    guarantee 


Aladdin  lumber  to  be  knotless  or  guaran- 
tee "A-Dollar-A-Knot"  for  our  red  cedar 
siding,  you  knoiL'  that  your  lumber  is 
going  to  be  the  very  highest  grade  taken 
from  the  forest. 


'Hunting  for  Pieces**— Contractor 


Of  course,  the  Aladdin  Readi-Cut  Sys- 
tem receives  adverse  criticism  from  some 
contractors,  lumber  dealers,  and  others. 
This  criticism  comes  chiefly  from  those 
who  have  had  no  e.xperience  with,  or 
knowledge  of,  Aladdin  houses.  Self-in- 
terest, here  prompted  by  loss  of  profit, 
begets   the   antagonism. 

One  of  the  most  amusing  remarks  made 
is  that  the  builder  of  an  Aladdin  house 
will    lose   as   much    time    liunting   out    his 


material  and  finding  the  right  piece  as  he 
will  save  by  the  Readi-Cut  System.  Of 
course  this  remark  on  the  face  of  it  is 
an  admi.ssion  that  time  is  saved  by  the 
Aladdin  System.  However,  any  thought 
about  time  lost  in  hunting  for  pieces  is 
immediately  dispelled  when  you  see  the 
simple  system  of  laying  out  materials  that 
accompanies  the  instructions  for  every 
house. 


About  Freight 


One  of  the  big  advantages  in  buying  an 
.\laddin  house  is  the  big  amount  you 
save  on  the  item  of  freight  alone.  Your 
local  dealer  very  rarely  buys  his  lumbc 
from  the  forest.  He  gets  it  shipped  to 
him  from  his  wholesaler  at  some  near-by 
distributing  point.  The  wholesaler  usually 
gets  it  from  some  other  middleman,  who 
gets  it  from  the  sawmill.  Every  time  the 
lumber  is  moved  in  its  zigzag  course 
through  the  niidfllcmi-ii,  the  freight  charges 


pile  up  and  your  local  dealer  must  add 
them  all  into  the  price  you  pay.  When 
your  .Maddin  house  reaches  you  the 
freight  is  the  very  lowest  that  is  possible 
to  move  the  goods  to  your  station.  We  use 
great  care  in  quoting  the  freight  and 
great  care  in  routing  it  the  most  direct 
way.  It  costs  no  more  to  pay  the  freight 
upon  arrival  of  your  car  than  to  send  us 
the  money  with  which  to  prepay  it. 


Aladdin  Houses  Sold  by  the 
Golden  Rule 

EX  years  of  square  dealing  with  our  cus- 

Ttomers  earned  for  us  the  expression,  ''I 
know  that  you  do  business  very  much  on 
the  Golden  Ride  basis." 

This  came  in  the  mail  voluntarily  from 
a  customer  who  had  tested  our  business  principles 
over  a  period  of  several  years,  and  who  has  reason 
to  know  whereof  he  speaks.  This  principle  has 
been  governing  the  work  of  this  organization  con- 
stantly, and  it  is  surely  gratifying  to  have  it  come 
to  us  in  this  way. 

We  have,  therefore,  adopted  the  expression  and 
know  that  we  have  a  real  right  to  its  use — as  you 
will  know  when  you  join  th:  big  .Aladdin  family. 


Aladdin  Lath  and  Plaster 

Aladdin  plaster  is  the  highest  grade 
manufactured  and  never  fails  to  give  the 
best  results;  a  hard,  smooth  and  lasting 
wall,  is  quick  drying  and  impervious  to 
moisture. 

It  is  an  improved  wood  fibre  patent 
plaster.  This  does  away  with  the  work  of 
preparing  plaster  through  the  old  fash- 
ioned method  It  not  only  shortens  the 
labor  but  when  the  wall  is  finished  it  is  a 


great  deal  more  durable  and  less  liable  to 
pit.  It  also  effects  another  saving,  as  the 
time  required  to  set  and  dry  out  is  much 
shorter,  so  that  the  interior  finish  can  be 
put  on  without  the  usual  delay. 

For  quick  work  or  for  use  in  cold 
weather  it  is  preferable  to  any  other  plas- 
ter, as  it  will  set  and  harden  much  more 
rapidly. 


Painting 


With  every  Aladdin  house,  paint  of  any 
color  for  two  coats  outside  is  furnished, 
oils,  stains  and  varnishes  or  paints  for 
inside.  You  will  be  sent,  on  request,  our 
large  color  card  of  many  beautiful  colors. 
You  may  select  as  many  different  colors  as 
you  wish  to  choose  for  body,  trimmings, 


porch  floor,  porch  ceiling,  window  sash, 
etc.,  and  you  may  have  either  paint,  oil 
and  varnish,  stain  and  varnish,  or  stain 
and  wax,  for  the  interior  finish.  Where 
houses  are  furnished  with  shingles  for  the 
side  walls,  shingle  stain  is  furnished  in- 
stead of  paint. 


Masonry 


Of  course,  all  excavation  and  masonry 
work  must  be  done  on  the  ground.  No 
money  would  be  saved  by  including  stone 
or  brick  or  concrete,  for  every  section  of 
the  country  produces  this  material  and 
prices  vary  but  little.  We  furnish  you 
with  the  foundation  plan  and  will  give 
you  figures  on  the  amount  of  material  re- 


quired for  whatever  kind  of  foundation 
material  you  decide  to  use — concrete,  stone 
or  brick.  Fireplaces  or  chimneys  may  be 
built  inside  or  outside  and  placed  where- 
ever  desired  or  may  be  omitted.  The 
opening  for  the  chimney  is  not  cut,  so  that 
the  chimney  may  be  omitted  or  its  location 
changed  from  wherever  it  may  be  shown 
in  our  photographs. 


The  Aladdin  Board  of  Seven 


BEFORE  this  Board  of  Seven  comes  every  Aladdin  house  for  the 
acid  test  of  perfection.  No  detail  escapes  the  keen  and  searching 
analysis  of  these  experts.  The  designer  must  prove  his  plans  to 
the  complete  satisfaction  of,  First,  the  Master  Designer,  for  ac- 
curacy ;  Second,  the  Master  Builders,  for  practicability,  strength,  and 
structural  harmony ;  Third,  Factory  Experts,  for  elimination  of  waste, 
standardization  of  lengths,  and  economy  of  costs.  Unless  the  cost  of  th'ese 
high-priced  men's  time  could  be  spread  over  a  hundred  or  more  houses  of 
each  design,  the  cost  would  be  prohibitive.  But  when  they  spend  two  or 
more  hours'  valuable  time  on  the  design,  drawings,  and  cutting  sheets  of  an 
Aladdin  house,  the  cost  is  not  all  charged  to  that  ojic  house,  but  to  several 
hundred  houses  of  that  same  design  sold  during  the  year. 

No  other  organization — but  the  Aladdin  organization — can  afford  a  group 
of  high-calibered  men  such  as  this  Board  of  Seven,  because  no  other  organi- 
zation in  the  world  produces  and  sells  the  vast  number  of  houses  and  build- 
ings produced  by  The  Aladdin  Company. 

No  other  lumber  manufacturer  ever  dared  back 
his  lumber  with  a  dollar-a-knot  guarantee. 

This  organization  was  called  upon  by  the 
Ignited  States  (jovcrnment  to  co-operate  with  it 
in  the  [)roduction  of  an  Ideal  Cottage.  This  Cot- 
tage was  erected  for  the  Government  at  the  Pan- 
ama-Pacific International  Exposition  at  San 
Francisco  and  was  awarded  the  highest  honor  and 
granted  a  medal. 

Could  higher  recognition  be  received  by  any  in- 
stitution than  tliis  which  was  accorded  to  the 
Aladdin  organization,  and  to  Aladdin  houses? 

Aladdin's  llnard  of  Seven  is  waiting  to  lielp 
you.

This  Catalog  Our  Only  Salesman 

WITH  this  catalog,  you  are  able  to  keep  the  profits  in  your  own 
pocket  that  you  would  ordinarily  pay  to  your  local  dealers.     Be- 
cause we  do  not  sell  thru  dealers,  they  can't  add  their  four  or  five 
hundred  dollar  profits  to  the  goods  you  buy  from  us.     You  keep 
this  money  yourself. 

When  your  dealer  says  "Don't  buy  your  lumber  out  of  town,"  ask  him 
where  he  buys  the  lumber  he  wants  to  sell  you. 

You  see  he  buys  his  lumber  up  here  and  the  onlv  money  that  stays  in 
your  town  is  the  dealer's  profit.  \Vouldn't  you  rather  have  it  in  your 
pocket  than  in  his? 

This  catalog  makes  possible  this  saving — and  manv  others.  Pick  the 
house  that  meets  your  need,  and  write  us.  We  have  lots  of  interesting 
things  to  tell  you  about  it. 

From  "The  Canada  Lumberman*' 

"Year  after  year  the  price  of  carpenter  labor  has  been  advancing,  thus 
making  the  cost  of  lumber  higher  when  in  position.  Framing  material  will 
eventually  have  to  come  to  the  building  trimmed  to  length,  and  I  fail  to 
understand  why  this  fact  is  not  more  generally  realized.  The  piece  stuff  of 
the  future  will  be  furni.shed  to  the  building  ready  for  position.  This  thing 
of  cutting  and  cutting  with  a  hand-saw 
at  the  building  site  until  it  fits,  is  too 
costly." 

The  United  States  Government 

has  given  to  The  Aladdin  Company  the 
tight  to  apply  to  its  product  (Aladdin 
Houses)  "Sold  by  the  Golden  Rule." 
It  has  given  the  Company  the  Exclusive 
Right,  backed  up  by  all  the  patent 
laws.  This  recognition,  this  rare  priv- 
ilege, we  are  immenseh  proud  of.

General  Specifications 


IMPORTANT  NOTE. — The  pictures  slwi^'n  in  this  catalog  are  all  actual  photo- 
graphs of  Aladdin  houses  sent  to  us  by  our  customers.  There  are  no  fanciful  artists' 
drawings,  or  photographs  of  houses  not  built  the  Aladdin  way.  Every  house  shown 
in  this  catalog  is  erected  in  Bay  City,  the  home  of  Aladdin,  with  just  two  or  three 
exceptions.     This  cannot  be  said  of  any  other  similar  catalog. 

No  single  organization  in  the  world  ever  equaled  the  vast  experience  of  this  insti- 
tution in  the  designing  and  manufacturing  of  houses.  The  shipment  of  thousands  of 
houses  each  year  and  covering  a  period  of  thirteen  years  at  this  work  means  exact  knowl- 
edge— not  theory — on  the  subject  of  material  and  construction.  The  grades  of  material, 
the  sizes  of  timbers,  their  strength,  location  and  installation  in  the  building  are  deter- 
mined by  well  defined  engineering  standards  and  our  own  exact  knowledge  gained  from 
years  of  experience. 

Below  are  given  general  specifications  for  the  construction  of  Aladdin  houses.  The 
exact  specifications  for  the  house  of  your  choice  are  sent  you  without  cost  just  as  soon 
as  you  write  us  about  the  house  you  like  best.

comes  under  this  binding  guaranty.  (K.xception: 
.Sheathing  lumber  is  a  fine  No.  2  ciuality.  and 
far  better  than  the  accepted  standard  for 
sheathing    lumber.)

Aladdin  .Service  is  equal  to  any  demand  made  of  it.  No  matter 
what  your  requirements  are — a  single  home  or  a  complete  city — the 
Aladdin  organization  is  capable  of  handling  it  with  the  greatest 
despatch.  The  Aladdin  Company  has  successfully  solved  the 
housing  problems  of  many  of  the  greatest  corporations  of  the  world, 
including  the  United  States  Government  and  the  British  Govern- 
ment. Aladdin  literature  contains  descriptions  and  prices  for  com- 
plete cities  of  300,  500,  1000,  2000  and  3000  population. 

Aladdin  Cities— population  of  300  to  3.000 

Aladdin  Cities  are  the  result  of  a  careful  research  work  into  the  neces- 
sities of  modern  civic  life.  Every  necessity  which  makes  for  health,  com- 
fort, hygiene  and  expansion  is  included  in  these  plans.  Each  city  is  com-

Floor  Plan— The  Everett 


vere\ 

See  prices  on  inside  of  front  cover. 
APPINESS,  comfort  and  character  are  portrayed  in  the  Everett,  a  new  Aladdin 

Hhome  which  is  fashioned  on  the  new  bungalow  lines  now  so  prevalent  in  Cali- 
fornia. The  Everett  represents  the  most  modern  science  of  home  building  and 
planning.  In  design  it  is  strikingly  attractive,  rich  and  refined  without  a  single 
trace  of  gaudiness.  Side  walls  of  rough  cast  or  pebble  dash  cement  stucco, 
Dutch  type  roof  with  wide  eaves  lend  a  pleasant  touch  to  the  very  modest 
exterior  of  this  home. 

The  interior  is  delightful.  The  large  room  at  the  front — a  combination  living 
room  and  dining  room — spacious  kitchen,  two  good-sized  bedrooms,  with  bathroom, 
size  SxS  feet,  make  an  exceptionally  good  plan  for  the  bungalow  home.  Still  another 
feature  that  proves  an  advantage  to  the  housewife  is  the  closet  space.  A  large  closet 
off  each  bedroom  and  linen  closet  near  bathroom,  provide  more  than  ample  closet  space 
for  the  average  family. 

There  is  much  information  on  the  Everett  that  cannot  be  included  here  on  account 
of  limited  space.     It  will  be  sent  to  you  if  you  request  it.

^^  TUDY  the  floor  plan  of  the  Warren  and  see  if  you 
^^  can  find  an  inch  of  waste  space.  It  is  the  most 
^^  practical  of  homes.  There  is  much  in  the  Warren 
1^^  tiiat  you  cannot  see  at  first  glance.  For  instance, 
notice  the  short  hallway  inside  the  front  door — just 
a  dandy  little  place  to  hang  the  wraps  of  evening 
callers.  The  clothes  closet  built  next  to  the  hallway  and 
opening  into  the  bedroom  is  just  ideal.  Off  the  front  hall- 
way is  the  living  room,  and  that  it  is  well  lighted  by  three 
windows  at  the  front  is  noticed  the  moment  you  enter,  and 
the  wide  arch  dividing  the  living  room  from  the  dining  room 
really  makes  them  one  big  room.  Through  a  door  in  the 
dining  room  you  enter  a  hallway.  It  leads  directly  to  the 
fron*  bedroom,  bathroom  and  back  bedroom,  separates  living 
rooms  from  sleeping  rooms  so  that  neither  one  is  disturbed 
by  the  other.  The  woodwork  and  floors  can  be  finished 
any  way  you  like  for  our  beautiful  Oregon  Fir  is  unsurpassed 
by  any  kind  of  interior  finish. 

Both  front  and  back  bedrooms  are  compact.  Now  visit 
the  home  workshop — the  kitchen.  One  can  reach  the  dining 
room,  basement  or  outdoors  very  easily.  Now,  have  you 
found  any  waste  space,  or  could  you  improve  upon  it  in  any 
way?  The  Warren  has  a  great  many  friends. 
Will  you  be  another? 

"I  saved  four  hundred  and  seventy-five  dol- 
lars on  my  'Warren,' "  wrote  an  owner  re- 
cently, "and  to  say  that  I  am  delighted  with 
it,  is  putting  it  mildly.  My  carpenter  said  the 
material  was  finer  than  we  could  get  here  at 
any  price,  and  everything  went  together  fine."

The  New  Eden 


See  prices  oa  inside  of  front  cover. 
HIS  liome,  the  New  Eden,  shows  the  resuh  of 
careful  planning  before  building— and  it  is  surely 
gratifying  to  its  many  owners  among  Aladdin  cus- 
tomers. On  a  ground  space  of  20x20  feet,  this 
home  gives  more  room,  more  comfort,  more  con- 
venience than  has  before  been  obtained.  Two  stories, 
having  two  bedrooms  upstairs,  a  hall,  a  living  room,  a 
dining  room,  a  kitchen,  an  open  stairway,  a  porch,  and 
above  all,  an  attractive  looking  house.  It  is  so  well  liked 
by  its  many  happy  owners,  that  it  is  common  for  them 
to  call  it  the  "Wonder  Home"  on  account  of  its  low  price, 
abundance  of  space,  and  its  convenience. 

Notice  the  exterior.  A  broad  belt  across  the  front  of  the 
house  divides  first  and  second  stories,  giving  a  pleasing 
and  harmonious  effect.  The  half-sheltered  porch  is  a  pleas- 
ant feature  and  is  well  built  for  strength,  attractiveness 
and  harmony.  The  full  length  column,  fronted  by  pedes- 
tals, makes  a  comfortable  porch.  The  diamond  paned 
window  to  the  left  of  the  front  door  gives  plenty  of  light 
to  the  stairway  and  adds  attractiveness  to  the  front  of  the 
house  and  porch.  Living  room  and  dining  room  are  di- 
vided by  a  wide  arch,  making  them  practically  one  room. 
Both  rooms  are  well  lighted  and  of  good  size.  Notice  the 
double  window  in  the  dining  room.  Two  men  can  erect 
and  complete  this  house  in  about  ten  days.  It  can  be  done 
by  any  two  men  who  are  willing  to  work,  assisted  by  our 
complete  instructions  and  illustrations.  For  price  of  the 
New  Eden  refer  to  inside  of  front  cover.  See  General 
Specifications  on  pages  12  and  13.  Detail  specifications

OU  will  agree  with  Aladdin  customers  and  owners  of  the  Standard  in  their  claim 
that  "it  is  the  best  square  type  house  ever  offered  to  home  builders."  Greatest  in 
amount  of  space,  best  in  point  of  design,  most  convenient  in  arrangement,  and 
ail  this  at  a  price  that  is  much  lower  than  it  would  cost  you  if  you  were  able  to 
buy  thru  any  other  source.  Notice  the  architectural  detail  under  the  eaves, 
porch,  and  the  dormer. 

Close  inspection  of  the  illustration  gives  many  pleasant  surprises.  The  scrolled 
brackets  which  are  especially  machined  for  the  Standard,  add  a  finished  touch  to  the 
sweeping  eaves.  Possibly  you  have  noticed  that  this  has  been  carried  out  on  all  eaves — 
dormer  and  porch  included.     The  broad  belt  is  also  used  to  advantage  here. 

The  porch,  distinct  in  type  and  attractive  in  appearance,  contributes  much  to  the 
general  design  of  the  Standard.    Hip  roof,  heavy  boxing  and  scrolled  brackets,  tapering 

porch  columns  and  full 
length  spindles,  all  form  a 
delightful  contrast  to  the 
ordinary.  Two  ideas  of  ar- 
rangement are  shown  in 
the  photographs.  In  the 
large  illustration,  the  steps 
are  placed  at  one  side  con- 
necting with  the  walk  that 


leads  to  grade  or  side  entrance.    The  small  illustration  shows 
steps  at  front  of  porch. 

The  inside  arrangement  of  the  Standard  has  appealed  to  many.  Notice  the  vesti- 
bule entrance.  This  is  a  very  useful  feature  in  that  it  provides  an  excellent  place  for 
hanging  wraps.  Besides  this,  it  is  a  valuable  feature  in  cold  weather.  Thru  the  next 
door  we  enter  what  might  be  called  a  reception  hall  and  the  impression  is  very  pleasing 
indeed.  The  handsome  exposed  staircase  can  be  beautifully  stained  and  varnished  and 
gives  one  an  idea  of  the  rich  effect  on  the  interior.  You  will  find  that  the  living  room 
and  dining  room  are  extra  large — and  that  will  suit  you — roomy  and  especially  well- 
lighted. 

The  kitchen  in  the  Standard  home  invites  efficiency  methods.  First,  the  size  is 
ample  for  working  to  advantage.  Second,  no  wasted  steps  are  necessary.  Pantry  at  the 
rear  is  but  a  few  steps  away  while  the  dining  room  is  but  another  few  steps  through 
double  action  door.  Either  the  reception  hall  or  the  grade  entrance  leading  to  base- 
ment or  outside  may  be  reached  directly,  meaning  a  saving  of  time. 

The  second  floor  has  model  sleeping  rooms  and  the  arrangement  with  bath  at  the 
head  of  the  hallway  is  perfect.     Each  of  the  four  bedrooms  shown  on  the  plan  are 

extra  large  and  have  excellent  wall 
space  for  beds,  dressers,  etc.  Three 
of  the  bedrooms  have  large  closet 
space  directly  adjoining — the  other 
bedroom  is  provided  with  the  con- 
venient Aladdin  closette.  For  com- 
plete information  on  the  closette  re- 
fer to  page  106.  All  ceilings  in  bed- 
rooms are  square  and  not  hipped. 
You  will  be  greatly  pleased  with 
your  new  home — The  Standard.

V  home!     Delightfully  attractive,  substantially  erected," 
practical  in  arrangement — nothing  less  could  express 
the  sentiments  that  form  the  tie  between  owner  and 
home — the   Willard.      A   personality  that   is  unusual, 
marks  the  designer's  work  on  this  bungalow.     It  is  correct 
in  line,  and  harmonious  in  detail. 

Sidewalls  of  stucco  will  please  the  fastidious.  Stucco  or 
pebble  dash  cement  walls  seem  to  challenge  summer's  sun 
and  defy  the  winds  of  winter.  But  where  shingles  or  bevel 
siding  are  preferred  to  stucco,  they  can  be  furnished  in 
place  of  the  stucco  at  the  same  price.  And  the  general  ap- 
pearance of  the  Willard  would  be  sure  to  please,  no  matter 
which  sidewall  treatment  you  selected.  You  will  approve 
the  designer's  idea  of  a  broad  and  roomy  porch.  It  is  par- 
tially covered,  the  open  space  which  is  usually  planned  for 
the  spot  located  in  the  afternoon's  shade,  is  bordered  with 
shrubs. 

Much  thought  was  expended  in  planning  the  interior. 
Every  room  has  an  attraction  in  its  careful  layout  for  light 
and  convenience.  The  living  room  and  dining  room  are  both 
at  the  front  of  the  home,  being  divided  by  French  doors. 
Butler's  pantry  between  dining  room  and  kitchen,  is  mod- 
ern in  thought  and  practical  in  effect.  Both  doors  on  but- 
ler's pantry  are  of  the  df)uble  action  type.  Large  kitchen, 
vjeW  lighted,  is  another  feature  of  the  Willard.  Notice  the 
efficient  layout — from  the  kitchen,  direct  access  may  be  had 
to  rear  porch,  hall  leading  to  living  room  and  front  en- 
trance, cellar  entrance,  and  to  butler's  pantry  and  dining 
room,  and  this  with  no  sacrifice  of  necessary  wall  space  for 
stove,  work-table,  kitchen  cabinet,  etc.  The  hallway  from 
living  room  opens  onto  the  large  bedrooms,  with  closets, 
bathroom  and   linen  closet. 

For  price  of  the  Willard,  refer  to  inside  of  front  cover.

ARE  you  pleased  with  the  lines  shown  in  the  Frank- 
lin ?     This  home  has  appealed  to  a  great  many.     It  was 
first  erected   in   Bay   City,   the  home  of  Aladdin. 
The  e.xcellent  work  of  the  designer  is  shown  in  the  il- 
lustration.    The  keynote  of  the  exterior  plan   is  massive- 
ness.     Note  the  two  large  columns.     They  add  strength 
to  the   front   of  the   home   and   harmonize   with   the   wide   and 
heavy  barge  board.    These  columns  are  two  feet  square  accord- 
ing to   the   plan. 

Another  feature  that  adds  much  to  the  attractiveness  of  the 
Franklin  is  the  porch  pedestals  that  carry  the  porch  balusters, 
which  you  will  note  do  not  connect  with  the  large  supporting 
columns  on  the  front.  The  pedestals — four  in  all — are  a  depar- 
ture from  the  usual  type  of  porch  arrangement  used  in  bung.ilow 
architecture  tending  to  add  much  to  the  principal  idea  of  the 
plan — strength. 

Equal  harmony  is  evident  in  the  bay  window  in  the  front 
gable.  This  bay  accommodates  two  single  and  one  double  case- 
ment windows. 

And  the  Franklin  interior  has  much  to  interest  you.  You 
notice  the  room  arrangement.  The  living  room  and  dining  room 
will  appeal  to  you.  As  the  front  door  is  swung  open  a  feeling 
of  comfort  is  evident.  The  wide  living  room  offers  many  ad- 
vantages in  cosy  and  attractive  arrangements  and  with  the  fireplace  at  one 
end  gives  all  that  can  be  desired  in  living  room  comfort. 

The  dining  room  is  separated  from  the  living  room  by  an  arch  with 
double  French  doors.  This  feature  is  proving  popular  and  besides  this  is  a 
convenience  on  many  occasions.  Another  point  that  we  desire  to  call  to 
the  housewives'  attention  is  the  abundance  of  light  furnished  the  kitchen 
by  a  double  window  on  one  side  and  single  window  on  rear.  Ideal  efficiency 
arrangements  of  work  tables  and  cabinets  can  here  be  secured. 

The  three  good  sized  bedrooms  are  also  well  located.  Each  has  plenty  of 
light  and  wall  space.     The  bathroom  is  situated  off  the  hall  at  the  rear. 

.Mthough  the  Franklin  shown  here  is  finished  in  stucco,  it  can  be  furnished 
with  shingles  or  siding  for  sidewalls  at  the  price   quoted. 

Send  today  for  complete  information  on  the  Franklin,  also  detailed  speci- 
fications. For  Price  refer  to  inside  front  COVer.  See  General  Specifications  ■

OR  compactness,   convenience  and  modern  designing,    the  Raymond   is  among 

Fthe  leaders.  Wlien  entering  the  front  through  the  attractively  designed  bunga- 
low door,  one  is  at  once  impressed  with  the  roominess  of  this  apparently  small 
house.  This  long  stretch  of  nearly  25  ft.  is  secured  because  of  the  wide  arch 
separating  the  living  and  dining  rooms.  In  this,  as  in  all  Aladdin  houses, 
the  designer  has  kept  prominently  in  mind  the  thought  of  modern  arrange- 
ments, which  in  Aladdins  is  only  another  way  of  saying,  "doing  one's  work  with  the 
least  possible  effort." 

Notice  how  the  kitchen,  apparently  in  the  remote  part  of  the  house,  is  conveniently 
accessible  to  the  dining  room  and  pantry.  These  "step-saving  arrangements"  are  the 
things  that  help  to  make  "doing  one's  own  work"  a  real  pleasure.  What  housewife 
would  not  be  delighted  with  the  plan  of  the  Raymond?  Of  course,  the  e.xposed  rafters, 
casement  windows  and  porch  all  contribute  their  part  to  make  this  little  bungalow  com- 
plete, attractive  and  modern.  If  desired,  siding  can  be  substituted  for  wall  shingles 
without  extra  cost. 

Refer  to  page  101  and  note  the  beautiful  two  panel  door  that  is  furnished  for  all  Aladdin 
Houses. 

For  Price  of  the  Raymond  refer  to  inside  of  front  cover.     See  Terms  on  page

HIS  most  charming  dwelling  has  a  host  of  admirers.  Its  individuality  is 
apparent  in  many  ways.  The  broken  roof,  second  story  balcony,  hooded 
front  entrance,  semi-enclosed  porch,  pergola  porte-cochere  with  French 
doors  leading  to  dining  room,  casement  windows  in  front  and  full  attic, 
form  a  delightfully  attractive  whole.  The  house  will  be  furnished  with 
either  siding,  shingles,  or  stucco  exterior.     The  bay  window  projects  three 

feet  and  is  ten  feet  wide.  The  pergola  at  the 
side  is  furnished  with  tin  roof,  giving  pro- 
tection against  snow  and  rain.  This  pergola 
can  be  furnished  with  floor,  giving  a  side 
veranda  instead  of  porte-cochere.  A  most 
unusual  and  distinctive  idea  is  the  little 
balcony  with  double  French  doors  from  the 
upper  sewing  room. 

Note  the  sleeping  room  leading  from  sit- 
ting or  dressing  room  on  second  floor.  This 
gives  all  the  advantages  of  the  sleeping  porch, 
with  none  of  its  inconveniences.  The  sleep- 
ing room  has  four  windows.  Linen  closet  is 
arranged  in  hall,  a  very  large  closet  from  the 
sewing  room,  and  each  bedroom  has  a  closet. 
Built-in  buffet  in  dining  room  affords  room 
for  dishes,  linen  and  silver.  (See  interior 
photo,    page    49.) 

A  Tennessee  owner  Cname  upon  request") 
writes  about  his  Brentwood:  '"My  Brent- 
wood is  the  admiration  of  the  town.  It  was 
ready  for  plastering  two  weeks  after  the  first 
nail  was  driven.  I  saved  about  S700  with 
Aladdin's  help."  Could  you  wish  for  greater

THE  Boulevard  is  the  wonder  home  to  many  prospective  home-builders.     The 
design    in    both    exterior    appearance    and    interior    convenience    is    the    result    of    deep 
thought    in   planning.     Stop   and   think   of   it—three   large   bedrooms,    large    living   room 
and    dining    room    with    good   sized    kitchen,    bath    and    closets— and    all   on   one    floor! 
Of  cour.se,  this  number  of  rooms  may  be  included  in  other  one-story  designs,   but  look 
again  at  the  sizes  of  the  rooms! 
In  point  of  design,  The  Boulevard  is  one  of  the  most  attractive.     Designed  on  con- 
ser\ative   lines,    this   home    is   marked    by   a    number   of   pleasant   architectural   features. 
The  dormer  in  the  front  roof  gives  light  and  air  to  attic  and  adds  much  to  its  beauty. 
The  porch  is  formed  under  the  main  roof— its  wide  dimensions  provide  comfort  and  add  much 
to  the  general  effect  of  this  home. 

A   wide    belt    divides   the   siding   on   the   first   storv   and   shingles   in   gable— the   treatment   used 
here  is  excellent,  white  belt,  brown  stained  shingles  and  sidewalls. 

The   interior  will   appeal  to  every  housewife  who   has  a   desiie 
to  make  the  home  beautiful  and  comfortable. 

The   arrangement   of   rooms   and  size   of   each   permit   excellent

«^ 


As  a  reward  for  a  life  of  thrift,  a 
woman  gained  ownership  to  the 
spot  of  land  reputed  to  be  the  cen- 
ter of  the  United  States.  It  was 
well  worth  her  time  to  search  far 
and  wide  for  a  beautiful  home  de- 
sign for  this  enviable  location.  The 
center  of  the  United  States — the  heart  of  lib- 
erty— was  deserving  of  the  best.  It  was  un- 
necessary to  say  that  the  home  for  this  loca- 
tion must  be  rock-ribbed  American  in  archi- 
tecture. 

In  the  process  of  elimination  which  was  to  de- 
termine the  suitable  design,  hundreds  were  cast 
aside.  Porches  loo  small,  windows  too  few,  ex- 
teriors too  plain  and  interiors  too  stuffy — was  there 
not  one  home  that  would  prove  suitable  ?  The  book, 
.■Maddin  Homes,  was  consulted  too,  but  seemed 
to  be  last  to  receive  consideration.  Carefully  tl;e 
pages  were  turned,  here  and  there  was  a  home  that 
would  possibly  do,  until  at  last,  the  home  of  them 
all — the  one  that  fulfilled  the  wishes  and  hopes  of 
the  owners — was  found.  It  was  the  Plaza.  Closer 
inspection  proved  beyond  a  doubt  that  this  home 
above  all  was  the  one — and  one  only — for  this 
location.  It  is  a  thoroughbred  bungalow  and  bun- 
galow  architecture   is   -American. 

The  very  essence  of  American  architecture  mak"* 
up  its  attractive  lines.  The  West  is  portrayed 
the  beautiful  California  pergola  porch,  the  East 
the  interior  of  the  home.  The  sunny  South  fi.Td 
credit  in  the  spacious  porch,  while  the  North 
has  loaned  the  shingled  sidewalls  representing 
northern  homes  in  the  early  days  of  American 
history. 

Yes,  the  central  spot  of 
the  United  States — .■\merican 
—is  crowned  with  the  Plaza 
home.  .And  this  same  .-Mad- 
din  Home  has  crowned  many 
other  spots  of  which  owners 
are   proud. 

If  you  are  interested  in 
making  the  Plaza  your  home, 
write  us  for  the  many  inter- 
esting details  you  will  need 
before  deciding  to  build.

A 


X  interesting  story  is  woven  into 

the     creation     of     the     Aladdin 
Pomona   Home.     One   of   Cali- 
fornia's   native    daughters    was 
brought    by    her    husband   as   a 
bride  to  a  charming  little  New 
York    village    to    live.      While    she    was   delighted 
with  her  new  surroundings,  she  wanted  to  retain 
some   part   of  the   feeling  and  atmosphere  of  her 
golden  west. 

With  the  enthusiastic  support  of  her  husband, 
she  appealed  to  Aladdin  to  produce  a  home  that 
would  radiate  the  delightful  California  sunniness 
and  typify  the  bungalow-craft  for  which  the  sun- 
set country  is  renowned. 

Aladdin   could  not   well   overlook   this  unusual 

appeal  and  promptly  set  about  the  work.     When 

the  sketches,   drawings  and  plans  were  submitted 

to  the  young  couple,  they  were  so  delighted  that  they  christened  the  home  The  Pomona, 

as  being  a  worthy  representative  of  the  delightful  little  California  town  of  that  name, 

from  which  the  "girl  from  the  golden  west"  came. 

When  the  home  was  completed,  a  photograph  was  sent  to  Bay  City  and  Aladdin 
was  given  permission  to  nioscnt  it  in  the  Aladdin  Book  of  Homes. 

You  may  be  sure  that  since  that  time  many  other  Aladdin  customers  have  chosen 
it  for  their  home  and  you  will  find  Pomona  designs  nestling  beneath  trees  and  sur- 
rounded by  pleasant  gardens  in  many  American  communities. 

If  there  is  such  a  thing  as  personality  in  a  home,  the  Pomona  surely  expresses 
the  feeling  in  every  angle  and  line.    Bathed  in  a  hot  summer  sun's  rays,  its  wide  eaves,

shady  porch  and  many  windows  offer  cooUng  protection , 
or  blanketed  by  winter's  snows  it  nestles  snugly  and  com- 
pact, and  inviting  the  traveler  to  its  protection.  Walls  of 
siding  and  shingles,  building  paper;  sheathing,  studding 
and  lath  and  plaster  are  equally  good  non-conductors  of 
heat  and  cold.  Externally,  many  interesting  ideas  are 
worked  out  and  each  blends  naturally  into  the  whole. 
Observe  the  tapered  porch  pillars  of  stucco,  surmounted 
by  clean  lined  columns  of  the  same  design.  The  chimney 
outline  matches  this  plan,  as  does  the  rafter  ends  and  the 
projecting  ends  of  belt  encircling  the  house  above  the  water 
table.  Brackets  supporting  the  eaves  are  shaped  differently 
than  any  other  bungalow  you  ever  saw,  while  the  porch  rail 
is  embellished  by  a  band  running  midway  between  the 
upper  and  lower  rails.  Two  plans  are  illustrated,  one- 
story  and  two-story.  In  the  one-story,  the  front  room  is 
adaptable  to  use  as  den  or  bedroom,  in  the  latter  case  giving 
three  bedrooms.    Good  closets  are  observable  in  both  designs. 

There  are  many  other  things  of  interest  that  you  should 
know  about  the  Pomona,  particularly  those  noted  in  a  re- 
cent issue  of  Aladdin's  ^Magazine — a  magazine  for  home 
builders. 

This  issue  was  devoted  entirely  to  the  Pomona  home. 

The   living  room,   dining  room,   bedrooms — every  part  of 
the  home  possible  to  photograph — are  pictured  in  this  issue. 
Different  views  of  the  exterior  and  pictures  of  the  Pomona 
at   different   stages   during   its 
erection,  an  article  on  kitchen 
efficiency      and      arrangement, 
and  many  other  bits  of  infor- 
mation that  you  will  want  to 
have,    are    presented    in    this 
popular      magazine      number. 
This,    with   other   information, 
will  be  sent  to  you  free  upon 
request.

WHY  does  the  Michigan 
Aladdin's?  Why  does  it  still  remain  a  popular  home  in  Aladdin's  catalog  after 
a  four  years'  period  since  it  was  first  classified?  Simply  because  it  is  a  con- 
servative design  of  a  type  that  has  always  found  a  number  of  admirers  among 
home  builders.  Among  the  great  number  of  people  building  new  homes  each 
year,  a  large  percentage  are  not  attracted  to  types  decorated  with  embellishments  and 
novelties  that,  to  use  their  words,  "come  and  go  every  year."  Their  preference  runs  to 
simplicity,  service  and  durability.  And  to  this  class  of  buyer  whose  ideas  are  fixed  on 
plan  and  type,  the  Michigan  is  dedicated,  first  on  account  of  its  long-standing  repu- 
tation as  a  serviceable  and  always  attractive  type  of  home,  and  second  on  account  of 
its  economical  cost — both  in  materials  and  erection. 

Here  again  it  is  proven  that  the  conservative  is  always  the  practical.  In  layout  the 
Michigan  is  practically  square — an  admitted  advantage  in  plan,  both  for  economy  of 
erection  and  heating.  Another  advantage  is  the  comfortable  rooms  possible  with  the 
square  type  home.  The  front  entrance  from  the  wide  porch  leads  to  vestibule  opening 
onto  living  room  and  dining  room.     A  more  pleasant  living  room  arrangement  is  hardly

possible.  Situated  at  the  front  of  the  house,  it  commands  the  most  interesting  view 
from  three  sides.  The  semi-open  staircase  is  attractive  in  design  and  finish,  and  is  con- 
veniently located.  The  dining  room  is  large  and  roomy,  well  lighted  and  located  oppo- 
site the  kitchen.  From  the  kitchen,  the  grade  cellar  entrance  leads  to  side  door  or 
basement. 

The  second  floor  plan  illustrates  hall,  tliree  good-sized  bedrooms,  bathroom  and 
closets.     Notice,  especially,  the  front  bedroom  size,   16x10  feet. 

In  regard  to  cost  of  erection,  the  Michigan  has  always  surprised  its  builders. 
Erected  from  materials  completely  manufactured  in  the  .\laddin  mills,  it  takes  shape, 
when  the  work  is  started,  in  a  remarkably  short  space  of  time,  and  records  of  builders 
show  that  it  has  been  completed,  ready  for  occupancy,  in  four  weeks  from  date  the 
work  was  started.  The  tendency  of  costs  to  vary  in  different  communities  and  under 
different  circumstances  according  to  price  of  labor,  etc..  makes  it  impractical  to  quote 
here  figures  that  would  apply  in  all  communities.  However,  a  method  of  figuring 
costs  accurately  before  the  work  is  started  will  be  sent  you  upon  request.  This  will 
enable  you  to  arrive  at  a  very  close  figure  for  the  completed  home.  Send  for  this 
information  today,  together  with  any  other  information  you  desire  regarding  the 
^lichigan.  and  it  will  be  sent  you  by  return  mail. 

A  number  of  very  interesting  letters  from  owners  of  the  Aladdin  Michigan  home 
are  on  file  in  our  offices.     Copies  will  be  sent  to  you  if  desired.

THE  Eleanor  home,  built  on  popular  California  bungalow 
lines,  is  one  that  is  adapted  to  all  climates.  It  seems 
that  the  very  design  demands  stucco  or  pebble  dash 
cement  sidewalls.  And  no  better  protection  from  win- 
ter winds  and  heavy  frosts  could  be  secured.  It  retains 
its  wonderful  weather-resisting  qualities,  too,  in  warmer 
climates.  As  you  possibly  know  stucco  seems  to  hold  all 
rooms  cool  and  pleasant  in  spite  of  a  high  summer's  temper- 
ature. ,  T-,  .  •  , 
In  keeping  with  bungalow  lines,  the  Eleanor  is  practical, 
but  not  gaudy.  It  blends  well  with  the  handsome  surround- 
ings of  shrubs  and  lawns.  Possibly  you  have  noticed  the 
roof  formation.  Different  indeed  from  the  customary  found 
on  the  average  bungalow  home.  The  porch  is  formed  under 
the  main  house  roof— it  is  staunch  and  cozy  in  appearance. 
Have  you  noticed  the  front  entrance?  Another  modern  bunga- 
low touch!  The  sidelight  when  placed  on  each  side  of  an 
entrance  adds  impressivcness  to  the  design,  besides 
permitting  more  daylight  to  enter  into  the  home. 

]\Io(lern  ideas  arc  expressed  on  the  interior  of 
the  Eleanor.  Compact,  cozy  and  convenient,  the 
Eleanor  home  plan  attracts  the  favorable  attention 
of  scrutinizing  builders.  The  living  room  and  din- 
ing room  are  ideal  in  location  and  size.  Excellent 
wall  si)acc  for  furniture  settings  is  offered  in  the 
living  room.  French  doors  divide  living  room  from 
dining  room — notice  the  casement  windows  in  din- 
ing room — a  mo.st  charming  touch  of  beauty  to  a 
most  popular  spot  in  the  home.  The  connecting 
door  to  the  kitchen  is  of  the  double  action  type. 
You  will  like  the  arrangement  of  bedrooms  and 
bath.  In  a  minimum  of  space,  this  ideal  layout  per- 
mits large  sized  bedrooms,  closets  of  ample  size  and 
an  8.\6  foot  bathroom. 

For  prices  of  the  Eleanor,  refer  to  inside  front 
cover.  See  General  Specifications  on  pages  12  and 
13,  and  Terms  on  page  2.

Floor  Plan — The  Maples 


See  prices  on  inside  of  front  cover. 

THE  :MAPLES  is  of  the  more  conservative  type 
of  bungalow.  At  first  glance,  you  will  notice 
that  simple  lines  are  here  made  into  a  practical, 
substantial  home.  It  has  found  great  favor 
among  Aladdin  customers.  The  low  roof,  wide  eaves, 
odd  windows,  exposed  rafter  ends  and  altogether  at- 
tractive simplicity  make  a  very  pretty  exterior  without 
going  to  extremes  in  decoration.  ]\Iuch  credit  for  the 
convenient  arrangement  of  the  interior  is  due  to  the 
fact  that  the  house  is  square.  Notice  the  manner  in 
which  the  sleeping  rooms  occupying  one  side  of  the 
house  are  separated  from  the  living  rooms.  The  spa- 
cious living  room  at  the  front  has  an  abundance  of 
light  and  comfort  with  outside  entrance,  entrance 
to  front  sleeping  room  and  wide  entrance  to  the 
dining  room.  Dining  room  is  easily  reached  from 
back  bedroom,  living  room  and  kitchen,  and  is 
well  lighted  on  all  sides.  The  kitchen  is  placed 
opposite  dining  room  with  outside  entrance  to  the 
rear.  Owners  of  the  ]Maples  claim  for  it  the  most 
convenient  and  comfortable  arrangement.  Ask  us 
for  names  of  Maples  owners  near  you  and  let 
them  tell  you  in  their  own  words.  For  price  of 
the  Maples  refer  to  inside  of  front  cover.  See 
General  Specifications,  pages  12  and  13.  Detail 
specifications  for  the  Maples  will  be  sent  you  on 
request.     See  Terms  on  page  2.

RE  you  not  pleased  with  the  Stanhope?  Can  you  con- 
ceive how  with  straight  architectural  lines  any  more 
pleasing  or  substantial  style  of  construction  could  have 
been  worked  out?  Notice  what  a  strong  yet  artistic 
appearance  is  given  the  entire  front  by  the  heavy  porch 
pedestals,  square  porch  columns  and  porch  rail. 

How  in  keeping  are  the  small  lights  in  bungalow  door  and 
the  upper  divided  lights  in  all  windows.  And  when  it  comes  to 
interior  plan,  it  would  be  very  difficult  to  work  out  a  more 
convenient  arrangement.  The  wide  arch  between  living  and 
dining  rooms  gives  an  appearance  of  one  large  room. 

The  double  action  door  leading  to  a  kitchen  large  enough, 
yet  none  too  large,  completes  the  living  part  of  this  compact, 
cosy  home.  Three  well  lighted,  suitable  sized  bedrooms  give  as 
much  sleeping  room  as  is  frequently  found  in  a  much  larger 
home.  For  any  one  desiring  a  six-room  modern  house  all  on  one 
floor,  the  .Stanhope  is  a  great  favorite.  The  Aladdin  readi-cut 
system  of  construction  offers  you  a  big  saving  on  this  home. 
You  are  now  able  to  dodge  the  high  cost  of  building  because 
you  pay  for  no  waste  of  materials  or  labor  in  erecting  an  Alad- 
din. :Match  this  against  the  excessive  cost  of  waste  in  building 
on  the  old-fashioned  method.  Then  compare  market  prices  with 
Aladdin  prices  and  you  will  realize  the  big  advantage  offered 
you  in  the  Aladdin  readi-cut  system.  It  is  estimated  that  18% 
of  the  materials  are  wasted  in'  building  on  the  saw-measure-on- 
the-ground  method.  This  means  $18  out  of  every  $100  is  paid 
for  waste  actually  lost!  The  Aladdin  system  has  reduced  this 
waste  to  less  than  2% — put  the  $18  in  your  pocket.  Can  you 
afford  to  build  on  any  other  plan?  Do  you  care  to  make  this 
saving?  Ask  us  for  names  of  customers — let  them  tell  you  in  their  own  words.  There 
are  many  owners  of  the  Aladdin  Stanhope  throughout  the  country.  Probably  there  is 
one  near  you.  We  will  send  you  names  of  owners — you  can  pay  them  a  visit  and 
inspect  their  home  and  material. 

For  price  of  the  Stanhope  refer  to  inside  of  front  cover.  Study  General  Specifica- 
tions on  pages  12  and  13.  Complete  detail  specifications  will  be  sent  you  upon  request.

HERE  is  a  strong,  substantial-looking  home  that 
impresses  everyone.  It  has  some  exceptionally 
desirable  advantages  not  found  in  any  other  de- 
sign. In  the  first  place,  the  price  we  have  been 
able  to  place  on  it  is  truly  astonishing  for  the 
conveniences  included.  Four  good  bedrooms — think  of  it ! 
One  bedroom  is  downstairs.  Every  bedroom  has  a  good 
closet,  with  an  especially  large  extra  closet  in  the  front 
bedroom.  Two  grouped  windows  flood  the  living  room 
with  light  and  air.  Wide  arch  separates  the  dining  room 
and  living  room,  giving  a  26-foot  vista  across  the  house. 
The  massive  roof  with  heavy  grouped  columns  on  porch 
gives  a  very  substantial  appearance.  This  house  is  cer- 
tainly a  credit  to  any  owner. 

The  Carolina  has  never  failed  to  please  its  owners. 
One  owner  claims  a  saving  of  $284.00  in  building  the 
Aladdin  way.  These  figures  are  the  result  of  a  compar- 
ison on  bids  received  and  give  an  example  of  the  average

THERE  are  many  good  points  in  the  Charleston,  a  modern  square-type  design. 
The  first  noticeable  feature  is  the  deep  bay  windows  in  front,  both  stories,  also 
on  one  side.     These  give  free  sight  in  all  directions  and  ample  light. 

The  interior  arrangement  is  one  for  convenience.     Front  entrance  is  gained 
through  a  large  reception  hall  with  semi-open  stairway  and  arched  entrance  to 
large  living  room.     This  feature  has  proven  popular,  as  it  can  be  used  for  one  room  and 
still  retain  the  convenience  of  two. 

The  kitchen  has  proved  extremely  attractive  to  busy  housewives.  A  rear  entrance 
leads  to  the  back  porch,  while  the  grade  entrance  at  the  side  leads  to  the  out  doors  and 
basement,  saving  many  steps. 

Four  large  bedrooms  and  bath  are  arranged  on  the  second  floor — plenty  of  light  in 
all.     All  exterior  walls  of  siding.     Beautiful  Colonial  columns  support  porch  roof  and

a  three-quarter  length  glass  door  adds  greatly  to  the  appearance.     The  Charleston  is  a 
good,  substantial,  roomy  home. 

There  are  a  number  of  attractive  arrangements  for  the  Charleston  interior.  The 
room  arrangement  and  sizes  of  each  adapt  themselves  to  comfortable  furniture  settings. 
Of  particular  note  are  the  attractive  bay  windows.  These  add  much  to  the  four 
rooms,  living  room  and  dining  room  on  the  first  floor  and  two  bedrooms  on  the  second 
floor.  Cozy  corners  for  the  placing  of  easy  chairs,  cushions  and  pillows  suggest  them- 
selves and  these  features  are  popular  with  home-loving  folks  everywhere. 

The  Aladdin  Department  of  Service  has  a  number  of  interesting  suggestions  on 
interior  decorations,  etc.,  for  the  Charleston.  Also  a  number  of  practical  color  schemes 
for  the  exterior.  Send  for  this  information  today— it  is  free.  It  will  enable  you  to 
plan  your  new  home  in  detail. 

Owners  of  the  Aladdin  Charleston  home  claim  to  save  between  $300  and  $400  by 
building  the  Aladdin  way. 

This  is  due  to  the  Aladdin  Readi-cut  system.  All  the  material  is  cut  to  fit  in  the 
mills  and  reaches  you  ready  to  be  nailed  in  place.  In  this  way  you  pay  for  no  waste  of 
lumber  or  labor— you  pay  for  the  material  that  is  used  and  no  more. 

From  careful  investigation  it  is  estimated  that  the  average  waste  of  good  lumber 
when  building  the  old-fashioned  way  is  between  18%  and  257o.     Do  you  care  to  pay 

big  prices  for  lumber  that  is  wasted?

DO  not  the  roof  and  porch  lines  of  the  Sheffield  please  you?    The  heavy  overhang 
and  Japanese  roof  effect  give  an  individuality  to  this  attractive  home  that  in-

HIS  striking  design  has  many  delightfully  original  ideas.     The  pleasing  propor- 

Ttion  of  its  generous  roof  and  the  heavy  timbered  effects  under  caves  and  windows, 
give  stability  and  strength  to  the  general  impression.  Study  the  hooded  front 
entrance  supported  by  heavy  brackets.  A  pergola  type  of  porch  covering  just 
fits  in  the  right  way.  Also  note  the  heavy  abutmcnt-likc  porch  piers.  The  ex- 
terior is  rough  cast  stucco  but  is  sometimes  furnished  with  shingled  walls,  the 
shingles  to  be  stained  a  pearl  gray,  or  left  to  weather. 

The   T.amberton   is  a   genuine   American   home.     Its   lines  are    American — straight, 
simple  and  massive. 

Exterior  trim  .seems  to  be  confined  to  small  divided  lights  in  windows  with  heavy 
false  window  sills  supported  by  brackets. 

The  brackets  on  the  eaves  are  simple,  and  especially  designed  for  this  home. 
Notice  the  front  entrance — a  particular  feature  of  this  home.     The  front  door  has

practically  a  full  length  glass  which  is  divided  in  keeping  with  the  general  idea  in  the 
windows.     The  sidelights  on  each  side  of  the  front  door  are  built  to  harmonize. 

And  what  a  splendid  arrangement  of  rooms.  The  reception  hall  is  separated  from 
living  room  by  a  wide  columned  arch  with  bookcases  built  in. 

The  handsome  staircase  presents  a  very  attractive  appearance  as  you  will  note  by 
referring  to  plan  that  a  seat  is  arranged  in  front  of  the  iower  landing,  the  stairs  being 
turned  at  the  landing  toward  the  living  room. 

The  reception  hall  is  well  lighted.  The  front  door  and  sidelights  with  small  case- 
ment window  at  the  side  give  an  even  light  to  hall  and  stairway. 

The  arched  bookcase,  which  divides  reception  hall  from  living  room,  is  fully  de- 
scribed and  pictured  on  page  106  of  this  book. 

French  doors  lead  from  living  room  to  dining  room.  A  breakfast  room  separates 
dining  room  and  kitchen.  Entrance  to  kitchen  is  from  either  breakfast  room,  grade 
entrance  or  reception  hall.  A  large  cloak  closet  is  conveniently  placed.  The  second 
floor  has  four  good,  light,  airy  bedrooms,  closets  and  bath.  The  third  floor  gives  an 
attic  thirty  by  thirty  feet. 

The  bookcases  shown  in  the  illustration  with  fireplace  on  this  page  are  not  included 
with  the  Lamberton  at  the  price  quoted.  Should  you  desire  to  include  them  in  your 
home  you  will  find  them  described  on   page   108. 

Could  more  conveniences  be  offered  in  any  home  of  its  size  than  are  incorporated  in

AVE  you  ever  seen  a  bungalow  similar  to  The  Merrill?     Undoubtedly,  you 

H      haven't,  as  it  is  a  most  recent  Aladdin  design — one  built  on  both  bungalow 
and  Colonial  lines. 
The  fact  that  this  home  is  set  close  to  the  ground,  built  up  but  one  story,  finished 
with   shingled   sidewalls   and   heavy   eaves   supported    by    brackets,    is    an   assurance    of 
its  bungalow  nativity. 

But  here  the  designer  sought  a  departure  from  the  customary,   and  Colonial  archi- 
tectural   lines   were   employed.      Notice    the    front   entrance    with    Colonial    hood    over 
front    door.     The   side   porch   is   also   another   Colonial    feature   which    is    a   very    desir- 
able  one. 

The  popularity  of  The  Merrill  is  assured.  Within  sixty  days'  time  after  the  plans  were 
completed,  and  before  it  was  given  space  in  the  Aladdin  catalog,  we  had  orders  for  thirty-two 
Merrill   homes— a   wonderful   tribute   to   its   practicability. 

The  interior  of  this  home  is  one  for  convenience  and  attractiveness.  The  cased  arch  which 
makes  a  wide  opening  between  living  room  and  dining  room,  offers  many  opportunities  for 
tastv  decorations  and  arrangements.  The  living  room  on  the  front  of  the  house  is  well  lighted, 
has' good  wall  space  and  offers  the  utmost  in  comfort  to  its  occupants.  The  dining  room  is  large, 
well  arranged  and  offers  the  additional  conveniences  of  the  wide  side  porch.  The  plan  shows 
three  good-sized  bedrooms,   closets,   bathrooms  and  kitchen  with   cellar  entrance. 

For  price  of  the  Merrill  refer  to  inside  of  front  cover.  See  General  Specifications  on  pages

RAFTSMAN"  fron.  door,  windows  grouped  in  pairs  and  side  walls  shingled 
are  the  particular  ideas  molded  into  The  Leota.  Another  new  thought  is 
the  side  entrance  to  the  porch.  The  porch  posts  should  be  very  heavy  and 
built  of  concrete  as  well  as  the  porch  floor.  The  interior  arrangement  is 
well  illustrated  by  the  floor  plans  shown  above.  This  little  gem  of  a  bunga- 
low will  match,  in  both  material  and  construction,  homes  of  many  times  its 
cost.  Beautifully  grained  interior  wood  work,  frosted  brass  hardware  fittings 
and  the  finest  stains  and  varnishes  combine  to  give  you  a  most  interesting  bungalow. 
Note  the  windows  with  divided  lights  and  the  exposed  rafter  ends.  When  erected  this 
bungalow  is  worth  very  nearly  two  thousand  dollars,  without  the  lot.  You'll  like  every 
feature  of  it.  The  Leota  is  built  of  the  same  materials  and  in  identically  the  same 
way  as  the  Aladdin  house  which  was  erected  at  the  Panama-Pacific  International 
Exposition,  and  which  was  awarded  the  highest  prize  by  the  International  Jury  of 
Awards.  It  is  built  of  the  same  material  and  in  identically  the  same  way  as  the 
homes  of  the  President  and  the  other  officers  of  The  Aladdin  Company.  The  same 
beautiful,  clear  and  flawless  lumber,  high  priced  paints,  stains,  varnishes  and  hard- 
ware are  furnished  as  in  all  Aladdin  houses.  While  no  cellar  is  shown  under  The 
Leota  from  which  this  picture  is  taken,  you  can  of  course  have  a  full  cellar,  as  in  any 
other  home.

STUDY  the  floor  plan  of  the  Thehiia !  Imagine  furniture,  carpets  and  curtahis 
in  place,  and  a  happy  family  seated  comfortably  in  the  living  room.  Every 
room  in  this  plan  has  a  charm  for  the  home  loving  folks.  Wide,  light  and 
cheery,  the  living  room  of  the  Thelma  is  really  an  exception  to  those  found 
in  the  average  home.  Three  outside  walls  permit  a  view  in  front  or  on 
either  side  of  the  home. 

Direct  access  thru  arch  to  dining  room  is  indeed  a  pleasant  feature  of  the 
Thelma.  And  here  the  dining  room,  too,  is  a  front  room,  its  two  front  windows 
looking  directly  onto  the  street.  The  three  windows  assure  plenty  of  light  and  cheer- 
fulness, and  the  size  of  this  room  means  ample  space  for  convenience  and  comfort. 

The  two  bedrooms,  large  in  size  and  well  located,  with  large  kitchen  off  dining 
room,  make  up  a  very  appealing  home  plan. 

And  isn't  the  exterior  delightful?  Fashioned  on  substantial  bungalow  lines,  its 
beauty  as  a  home  is  apparent  in  many  ways. 

Shingled  side  walls,  pure  white  window  sash  and  trim,  wide  belt  at  gable,  suggest 
many  color  schemes. 

The  delightful  exterior,  the  interior  with  its  coziness  and  the  low  price  quoted  for 
the  complete  material,  are  your  assurances  of  the  highest  satisfaction.

HE  Georgia  presents  a  most  unusual  combination  of  true  bungalow  and  iwo- 

T  story  house.  Excellent  judgment  by  the  designers  gives  it  character  and  dis- 
tinction. Observe  the  manner  in  which  the  exterior  walls  are  divided  by  a 
belt,  apparently  cutting  down  the  height,  while  the  lower  story  is  sided  and 
the  upper  shingled.  Timber  brackets  balance  the  overhanging  roof,  which  is 
splendidly  proportioned.  The  porch  is  unusual  in  shape  and  type,  the  longi- 
tudinal section  being  covered  by  a  roof  that  partakes  of  the  form  and  pitch  of  the  main 
roof,  but  is  relieved  by  the  jutting  gable  covering  that  section  of  the  porch  floor  pro- 
jecting away  from  the  front  door.  Square  tapering  columns  supported  by  pedestals  and 
joined  by  a  well  designed  railing  complete  the  jjorch. 

Note  the  paired  casement  windows  which  afford  excellent  light  to  the  interior, 
The  upper  gable  windows  are  given  an  interesting  touch  by  the  little  bracket-supported 
hoods.     Living  room,  dining  room,  kitchen,  grade  cellar  entrance,  three  bedrooms,  bath

and  closets  constitute  a  complete  housekeeping  establishment.  And 
everything  about  this  home  gives  a  feeling  of  quality  and  refine- 
ment. The  living  room  occupies  one  end  of  the  home,  having  light 
from  three  sides.  The  handsome  stained  staircase  leading  to  sec- 
ond floor  is  placed  at  the  far  end  of  the  room.  The  wall  space  at 
the  left  of  the  stairway  provides  an  excellent  space  for  piano  or 
large  Davenport,  leaving  a  wide  stretch  of  space  in  the  balance  of 
the  room,  preventing  a  crowded  appearance.  The  dining  room 
directly  adjoins  the  living  room,  being  separated  by  a  wide  cased 
arch.  You  will  be  well  pleased  with  the  dining  room,  as  it  is  of 
good  size  and  made  pleasant  by  the  handsome  grouped  casement 
windows  on  two  sides. 

The  kitchen  of  the  Georgia  has  attracted  many  housewives  on 
account  of  its  convenience.     The  grade  cellar  entrance  makes  it  possible  to  enter  the 
basement  from  the  outside  of  the  house  without  passing  through  the  kitchen. 

The  pleasant  and  cozy  rooms  in  the  Georgia  are  made  very  attractive  when  finished 
in  the  beautiful  Oregon  Fir.  This  beautiful  wood  is  furnished  for  interior  finish  in  all 
Aladdin  Homes. 

One  purchaser  alone  erected  ten  Georgias  in  1915,  an  unusual  tribute  to  its 
popularity. 

There  is  much  information  about  the  Georgia  home  in  a  special  issue  of  .\laddin's 
Magazine,  a  magazine  for  home  builders.  This  entire  issue  of  twenty  pages  is  devoted 
exclusively  to  the  Georgia  home.  Many  photographs  are  shown — interior,  e.xterior.  One 
interesting  feature  that  has  proven  very  popular  is  a  series  of  photographs  showing 
different  stages  in  the  erection  of  the  Georgia.  Then,  too,  the  housewives  have  taken 
great  interest  in  the  kitchen  efficiency  article  for  the  Georgia  home.  A  copy  of  this

THE  Herford  is  an  achievement  in  building  a  two-story,  four  bedroom  house 
at  a  price  less  than  fifteen  hundred  dollars,  yet  the  convenience  and  attractive 
appearance  of  this  design  is  not  impaired  in  the  least.  It  is  of  the  ever  pop- 
ular square  type  which  gives  an  air  of  size  and  massiveness.  Although  the 
PIcrford  is  designed  along  conservative  lines,  it  is  not  commonplace  or  plain. 
The  hip  roof  and  broad  belt  dividing  first  and  second  stories  are  always  favorable 
touches  that  are  in  keeping  with  the  design.  The  interior  of  the  Herford  will  surprise 
you — the  fact  that  it  is  a  larger  home  than  you  expect  could  be  possible  at  the  price,  is 
impressed  upon  you  when  you  note  the  number  and  size  of  rooms. 

A  large  living  room  across  the  entire  front,  large  square  dining  room  and  kitchen 
make  an  exceptionally   convenient  and  roomy  first  floor  plan.     The  second  floor  has

four  bedrooms  and  bath,  with  clothes  closets.  The  large  porch  across  the  front  and 
the  grade  cellar  entrance,  are  features  of  this  design  seldom  found  in  a  house  at  this 
price.  Handsome  front  door  with  three-quarter  length  glass  and  wide  window  front 
the  house.  You  couldn't  possibly  better  the  design  and  arrangement  of  the  Herford 
try  as  you  might,  and  it  would  be  utterly  impossible  to  find  better  lumber  than  is 
furnished,  for  it  doesn't  grow  in  any  forest. 

The  carefully  built  semi-open  stairway  with  circle  first  step,  newel  post  and  beau- 
tifully grained  Fir  lumber  add  a  pleasing  tone  to  the  interior  woodwork.  All  woodwork 
is  very  carefully  sanded  and  ready  to  receive  the  stains  and  varnish.

the  mill.  Tomorrow  it  is  rolled  out  of  the  mill  yards  and  is 
on  its  way  to  you.  Probably  the  same  train  has  three  or  four  more 
orders  going  in  the  same  direction.  Your  house  is  but  one  of  the 
many  that  leave  the  Aladdin  mills  each  day,  because  Aladdin  sells  at 
wholesale  prices  and  saves  you  the  dealers'  profits.  JNIany  a  man  of 
moderate  means  would  like  to  own  his  little  home,  but  the  dealer's 
price  is  too  much,  and  it  is  difficult  for  him  to  engage  carpenters.

The   Erie 


To  all  such  the 
.Aladdin  Readi-Cut  System  is  a  blessing  because  they  can  build  it  themselves  at  a  cost 
of  simply  their  own  time  plus  the  cost  of  the  material,  or  they  can  have  it  put  up  in 
a  few  days  by  day  labor. 

This  little  home  of  three  rooms  and  attractive  porch  is  a  beauty.  It  is  warm  and 
strong — is  built  of  the  same  high  grade  material  as  the  larger  Aladdin  houses.  Two 
men  with  no  previous  experience,  following  .Aladdin's  instructions,  can  erect  this  house 
in  four  days'  time.  You  will  take  great  pride  in  this  Aladdin  home — the  Erie.  The 
Erie  and  Selwyn  will  be  furnished  in  size  20.\24  feet  instead  of  16x20  feet  as  shown  in 
these  plans  at  an  additional  cost  of  $96.0U  net.

AN  you  imagine  a  better  utilization  of  space  than  is  obtained  in  the  plan  of  the 
Hudson  ?  The  constant  thought  of  Aladdin  designers  is  toward  giving  a  maxi- 
mum of  convenience  and  comfort  for  the  lowest  possible  cost.  It  is  doubtful  if 
this  result  has  been  exceeded  by  any  other  Aladdin  house.  The  exterior  will 
])lease  you,  we  are  sure,  as  this  home  has  a  greater  number  of  admirers.  The 
design  is  practical  and  conservative  with  no  sign  of  over-trimming  being  evident. 
Simple  lines  in  the  ])orch  construction,  heavy  overhead  boxing,  and  roof  are  in  perfect 
harmony  with  the  balance  of  the  home.  The  windows  of  both  first  and  second  story 
are  treated  somewhat  differently  from  the  average.  On  the  first  floor  the  windows  are 
capped  by  the  wide  belt  dividing  first  and  second  floor.  The  windows  on  the  second 
floor  line  uj)  to  tiie  trim  board  under  caves. 


Second  Floor  Flan — The  Hudson 


First  Floor  Plan — The  Hudson 


The  wide  belt  dividing  first  and  second  stories  adds  much  to  the  general  appearance 
of  the  Hudson. 

Notice  the  hip  roof  dormer  on  the  front  roof.  It  helps  break  up  the  flat,  plain  roof. 
Study  the  location  of  rooms  and  the  placing  of  doors  and  windows.  Hudsons  have 
been  erected  in  many  cities  and  towns  about  the  country  and  you  may  be  sure  that  each 
creates  much  favorable  comment  by  friends  and  neighbors  of  the  owners.  The  arches 
dividing  hall,  living  room  and  dining  room  give  an  impression  of  size  and  space  that  is 
most  desirable.  The  reception  hall  permits  direct  access  to  kitchen,  living  room,  or 
second  floor.  Ample  light  for  hallway  and  staircase  is  provided  by  full  size  window 
and  three-quarter  length  glass  in  front  door. 

By  referring  to  the  plan  you  will  find  there  is  a  stretch  of  space  twenty-eight  feet 
thru  living  room  and  dining  room.  The  large  living  room,  size  14x16  feet  will  prove 
interesting  to  you  with  the  many  possibilities  for  attractive  furniture  arrangements. 

Entrance  from  hall  to  kitchen  saves  the  housewife  many  steps.  Four  good  bed- 
rooms, closets  and  bath  are  arranged  on  the  second  floor.  Four  Colonial  columns  sup- 
port the  porch  roof  and  a  beautiful  glass  front  door  throws  light  into  the  hall,  in 
addition  to  the  side  window,  and  the  woodwork  and  floors  are  of  beautiful  grained 
lumber,  which  is  subject  to  any  treatment  you  like.  To  lovers  of  simplicity  in  home 
architecture  the  Hudson  always  appeals  strongly. 

We  have  many  interesting  letters  from  Hudson  owners  telling  of  their  experiences, 
cost  of  erection,  and  length  of  time  in  building.  We  will  be  glad  to  send  you  copies  of 
these  letters  or  will  send  you  names  and  addresses  of  owners  nearest  you.  In  this  way 
you  can  write  and  learn  at  first  hand  of  their  complete  satisfaction.

no  sawing,  figuring  or  fussing  is  necessary.

HERE  is  a  complete  five-room  dwelling 
with  all  the  beauty  of  simplicity  of  de- 
sign. It  has  appealed  so  strongly  to 
home  builders  and  has  met  their  needs 
so  satisfactorily  that  you  will  find 
Gretnas  scattered  throughout  the  length  and 
breadth  of  the  land.  It  has  been  and  is  one  of 
our  very  best  sellers.  The  demand  for  it  is  con- 
stant. It  is  particularly  desirable  where  ground 
space  is  not  too  expensive,  as  its  width  of  thirty 
feet  really  requires  a  lot  of  forty  feet  or  wider. 
Its  long  porch  and  sash  door  give  charm  to  the  ex- 
terior, while  the  large  living  room,  bedrooms,  dining 
room  and  kitclien  furnislv  as  convenient  and  desirable

ing much  more  money.  Throughout  you  have  the  same 
excellent  construction  that  is  found  in  every  Aladdin 
house,  yet  the  lines  of  construction  are  so  simple  that 
scores  of  Gretna  owners  have  built  their  entire  house 
without  any  assistance  from  carpenters.  The  Gretna 
is  distinctly  a  house  for  the  home-loving  man  of  mod- 
erate means,  because  without  sacrificing  attractiveness, 
convenience,  or  essentials,  the  cost  has  been  brought 
within  the  reach  of  all.  Either  floor  plan  shown  will

G)Gpartmeni  of  Service- 

Aladdin 


"\ 


DID  you  ever  really  consider  the  won- 
derful difference  in  the  meaning  of 
the  words  house  and  home? 

A  house  is  a  structure  to  live  in. 

Home — the  dearest  place  on  earth — is  that 
structure  that  is  a  part  of  you — made  so  by 
its  association  with  your  family,  their  joys 
and  sorrows,  their  hopes,  aspirations,  and 
fears.  It  is  a  refuge  from  the  trials  and 
struggles  of  the  outer  world.  It  is  a  visible 
expression  of  yourself,  your  tastes  and  char- 
acter. 

SERVICE!  —  that  golden  touch  which 
changes  the  ordinary  into  the  artistic. — It 
is  that  which  is  not  bounded  by  the  sale, 
but  is  added  to  complete  or  round  out  the 
transaction. 

Aladdin's  interest  does  not  stop  when  the 
order  has  been  received — but  ever  bearing 
in  mind  the  many  nice  discriminations  to  be 
made  in  the  locating,  adorning,  and  sur- 
rounding of  the  home,  the  Department  of 
Service  was  early  established — to  advise, 
direct  or  take  full  charge,  as  the  home 
builders  may  desire,  of  this  part  of  home 
making.  As  we  have  so  often  said,  it  is 
the  use  of  such  skill  that  changes  a  place  to 
stay, — a  house,  to  the  dearest  place  on  earth, 
a  HOIME. 

Perhaps  you  find  it  difficult  to  express 
your  lastes,  as  you  feel  them,  when  it  comes

Gonducied  for

to  tlie  arrangement,   furnishing,  and  decoration  of  your  home.     You  may  not  be  sure 
of  yourself.     Right  there  is  where  our  Department  of  Service  can  help. 

This  department  is  in  the  hands  of  people  trained  in  the  planning  and  arrange- 
ment of  artistic  exterior  and  interior  effects  for  the  home — design,  decoration,  land- 
scaping, etc.  It  is  organized  and  maintained  for  a  single  purpose — to  serve  our  cus- 
tomers.    There  is  no  charge  for  this  service. 

If  you  have  a  general  idea  of  color  in  the  exterior  painting  plan  that  you  would 
like  to  follow,  let  the  service  department  work  out  the  details.  In  the  interior  finish 
and  wall  colors  you  may  either  put  the  responsibility  entirely  up  to  the  departm':nt, 
or  by  suggesting  general  preferences,  it  will  work  to  your  suggestions  and  carry  out 
the  details. 

By  furnishing  the  department  with  the  size  of  your  grounds,  sketches  will  be 
worked  out  for  attractive  planting  of  shrubberies,  plants,  trees,  etc.,  with  lists  of  seeds 
and  vines. 

In  fact,   the  Department  of  Service  will   help  to  make  your   Aladdin   house   home, 
in  every  sense  possible. 

In  seeking  this  service  you  have  only  to  address  the  Department  of  Service,  care 
of  this  comjjany.  The  service  this  company  renders  its  customers  in  decoration  and 
planting  would  cost  from  fifty  dollars  to  five  hundred  dollars  if  you  consulted  the 
average  landscape  architect.  It  is  but  one  of  the  links  in  the  chain  that  forms  such  a 
close  bond  between  our  customers  and  us. 

The  Passing  of  the  Pantry 

Of  the  many  conveniences  efficiency  has  bestowed  upon  the  housewife,  the  greatest  and  per- 
}iaps  the  most  noticeable  is  the  kitchen  cabinet  or  kitchenette  which  replaces  the  old  pantry. 
The  majority  of  us,  no  doubt,  can  remember  the  old-fashioned  pantry  in  which  was  stored  a  host 
of  things — potatoes  for  the  winter,  preserves,  fruits,  bancis  of  flour,  ice-chest,  table  leaves,  brooms, 
etc.,— in  fact,  the  pantry  was  a  sort  of  catch-all— a  rendezvous  for  a  large  variety  of  articles.  At 
times,  it  was  so  overcrowded  as  to  make  it  difficult  to  get  thru  the  door. 

But  when  efficiency  entered,  she  swept  aside  the  old-fashioned  pantry  with  its  multitude  of 
things,  and  in  its  place  arose  the  bright,  sanitary  and  convenient  kitchenette,  a  boon  to  the 
housewife  and  to  sanitation. 

The  new  and  modern  kitchenette  accomplishes  fully  as  much,  if  not  more,  than  the  old  pantry 
did.  It  is  convenient  and  sanitary,  takes  up  less  space  than  the  pantry  and  saves  the  housewife 
hundreds  of  steps  each  day.  No  longer  is  it  necessary  for  her  to 
bring  supplies  back  and  forth  from  the  pantry  to  the  kitchen 
table.  She  may  now  sit  at  her  cabinet  with  its  work  table  and 
have  at  her  finger's  end  the  materials  for  a  meal,  as  there  is  place 
for  all  necessary  utensils  and  raw  materials,  such  as  flour,  sugar, 
tea  and  coffee,  spices,  canned  goods,  bread-box.  etc.  And  isn't 
the  kitchen,  rather  than  the  pantry,  the  proper  place  for  the 
preparation  of  meals  ? 

Therefore,  the  majority  of  efficient  housewives  of  today  object  to 
the  annexation  of  a  pantry  to  their  kitchens,  preferring  the  ad- 
vantageous  kitchenette   in   its   stead. 

Thus,  efficiency  has  completely  eliminated  the  old-fashioned 
pantry  and  has  placed  before  the  housewife  a  most  commendable 
substitute — the  modern  kitchenette. 

Aladdin  kitchens  are  planned  expressly  for  efficiency  and  step- 
saving. 

In  line  with  .Maddin's  usual  service  to  the  builder  ycju  can 
secure  the  co-operation  of  a  household  efficiency  expert  to  help 
you  arrange  your  kitchen.  This  service  is  free,  of  course,  and  is 
offered  you  on  any  home  you  may  erect  from  the  Aladdin  cata- 
log. Large  or  small,  the  kitchen  needs  much  thought  and  that 
is  why  this  added  help  of  Aladdin's  to  his  builders  has  found 
so  much   favor.

PRIDE  of  ownership!  The  very  attitude  of  every  member  of  the  family  in  this 
picture  denotes  pleasure  and  satisfaction  with  their  home :  even  to  the  extent 
of  painting  a  small,  neat  name,  that  all  who  pass  may  know.  The  Florence 
is  quite  extraordinary  in  the  almost  universal  appeal  it  has  on  observers.  It 
is  as  clean  in  outline  as  a  Greek  temple  and  surely  as  pleasant  to  look  upon 
as  any  home  could  be.  To  the  lover  of  simplicity  the  Florence  has  a  strong 
attraction,  its  well  balanced  and  commodious  porch,  finely  proportioned  roof  and  dor- 
mer window,  wide  front  windows  and  shingled  gables  all  being  in  perfect  harmony. 
And  the  material  from  which  the  whole  is  moulded  is  all  as  perfect  as  can  be  taken 
out  of  the  forest.  The  owner  has  no  lingering  memories  of  paint  covered  defects  to 
spoil  his  pride  of  ownership.  The  siding,  the  trim,  the  shingles,  and  the  porch  work 
are  entirely  free  from  knots  or  other  defects. 

The  interior  will  appeal  to  the  housewife.  It  rather  surprises  you  to  learn  that 
there  are  three  fine  bedrooms,  giving  a  large  family  ample  accommodations.  Living 
room  is  centrally  located,  which  is  much  desired  by  many  families.  The  bathroom  is 
well  placed,  while  the  kitchen  is  made  more  roomy  by  a  light  pantry.  Well  placed 
cellar  stairs  give  access  to  the  basement  from  the  kitchen.  Beautiful  floors  and  wood- 
work distinguish  all  Aladdin  houses  and  of  course  give  the  finished  effect  to  the 
Florence  as  to  all  our  other  designs.  Refer  to  inside  of  front  cover  for  prices.  See 
Terms  on  page  2,  and  General  Specifications  on  pages  12  and  13. 


First  Floor  Plan 
The  Yale 

HE  full  realization  of  a  complete  home  is  gratified  in  the  Yale.     The  judgment 

Tof  Aladdin  designers  has  been  wonderfully  approved  in  the  hundreds  of  sales 
of  this  design.  When  you  fully  comprehend  all  that  it  offers,  you  will  be  as 
enthusiastic  about  it  as  every  customer  who  is  living  in  it. 
Harmony  of  design  and  proportion  first  strikes  the  eye.  With  a  width  of 
twenty  feet,  making  it  adaptable  to  narrow  lots,  it  accomplished  a  two-story 
plan  without  its  height  being  apparent.  Four  gables  afford  a  surprising  amount  of 
room  in  the  second  story.  Concrete  pedestals  support  square  porch  columns  and  the 
long  balusters  of  the  porch  railing  are  different  from  the  usual  type.  .\  beautiful  front 
door  leads  into  the  living  room  which  extends  full  width  of  the  house,  .\rched  opening 
separates  living  room  from  dining  room.  See  photos  bottom  page  63.  Kitchen,  cellar 
way  and  rear  porch  complete  the  first  story.  On  the  second  story  are  found  the  bed- 
rooms, bath  and  closet.  You  will  be  delighted  by  the  selection  of  the  Yale  and  especially 
the  surpassing  beauty  of  the  interior  woodwork  which  lends  itself  to  the  most  interest- 
ing decorative  schemes.  Our  Wood  Stains  and  varnish  permit  your  taste  to  be  realized 
to  the  fullest  extent.  For  price  of  the  Yale,  refer  to  inside  of  front  cover.  See  General 
Specifications  on  pages  12  and  13.  Complete  detail  specifications  for  the  Yale  will  be 
sent  on  request.     See  Terms  on  page  2.

The  Sunshine 

HIS  charming  bungalow  nestling  in  this  setting  of  trees  represents  one  of  the 

Tbest  pieces  of  work  of  our  master  designers. 
Individuality    is    portrayed    in    all    its    lines    and    it    is    distinctly    American    in 
character. 
E.xtreme  simplicity  is  the  motif  behind  the  planning  of  this  hojiie. 
Simplicity  implies   character,    quality   and  taste. 
Sunshine   implies  cheerfulness,   happiness,   prosperity   and   light. 
Could  a  more  fitting  name  than  "Sunshine"   be  given  to  this  home? 
It    radiates   that   sweet,    simple   home   atmosphere   everyone   wishes   to   secure    in 
their  home  and  to   see  in  the  homes  of  others. 

The   roof   lines   are    particularly   graceful,    the   main    roof   extending   down   over    the   porch,    it 
being  evenly   balanced   by  a   dormer   of  just   the   right   proportions. 

A  study  of  the  interior  reveals  an  exceptionally  well  laid  and  thought  out  plan. 
Light  in  any  home  is  an  essential  feature  and  we  have  provided  an  abundance  of  it  for 
every  room.  The  large  living  room  gives  access  to  the  dining  room  and  front  bedroom,  as  well 
as  small  clothes  closet.  See  page  35.  The  opening  between  the  living  room  and  dining  room 
is  a  prepossessing  cased  archway.  The  fireplace  and  outside  chimney  are  shown  in  the 
photograph  and  floor  plan  although  it  is  not  necessary  that  you  build  these  should  you  favor 
this  house.     The  two  back   bedrooms  have  regular  closets  built  off  of  them. 

.\t  the   rear  of  the   bungalow   one  of  our  regular  Addition  No.   4  is  furnished,  this  providing 
for   a    combined    cellar   and    rear   entrance. 

If  the   "Sunshine"    appeals  to  you,   write  us  so  we  can   send  you  still  further   details.     Refer 
to  inside  of  front  cover  for  prices.  '  See  Terms  on  page  2.     Specifications  on  pages  12  and   13.

HIS  modern  home  with  its  distinctive  features  has  a  large  number  of  ad- 
mirers. The  general  appearance,  both  design  and  arrangement  of  detail, 
place  it  in  a  class  of  its  own.  The  general  lines  are  taken  from  New  Eng- 
land and  Southern  Colonial  architecture,  while  many  original  ideas  are 
added. 

The  windows,  with  divided  lights  and  simple  dormers  breaking  the  front  roof,  are 
purely  of  New  England  origin,  and  are  often  referred  to  as  "severe,  simple  and  quaint." 
Credit  is  due  Southern  designers  for  the  semi-circle  porch  and  front  entrance  de- 
tail. By  closer  inspection  you  will  notice  that  the  heavy  front  door  is  balanced  on 
either  side  by  side-lights.  The  detail  in  both  door  and  side-lights  harmonize,  as 
both  have  glass  in  upper  half.  Besides  the  decorative  value  of  this  feature  it  is  prac- 
tical in  that  it  provides  a  flood  of  light  in  the  reception  hall,  lighting  stairs  and 
j.assageways.  The  semi-circle  porch  with  balcony  effect  is  supported  by  four  large 
turned  columns. 

The  broad  and  spacious  side  porch  is  also  of  interest.  It  is  one  of  the  most  typical 
features  of  Colonial  architecture.  The  balusters  and  rail  are  extended  around  the 
porch,  entrance  to  be  hafl  from  th.e  two  side  doors  in  the  living  room  on  either  side 
of  the  fireplace  or  from  the  stcp.s  at  the  side. 


72 


The  Colonial  is  shown  here  with  terrace  breaking  abruptly  a  short  distance  from 
the  front.  This  is  another  Southern  feature  that  is  proving  very  popular  among 
builders  of  better  class  homes  today. 

The  interior  expresses  modern  ideas.  The  large  size  porch  is  an  excellent  summer 
season  auxiliary  to  the  living  room,  as  both  run  parallel,  with  entrance  doors  on 
either  side  of  the  fireplace.  The  living  room  is  arranged  at  one  end  of  the  home. 
The  size,  15  feet  wide  by  30  feet  long,  offers  many  opportunities  for  different  and 
tasty  arrangement  of  furniture.  The  fireplace  which  is  shown  in  the  plan  adds  much 
to  the  comfort  and  attractiveness  of  the  room  and  is  well  located.  The  library  which 
directly  adjoins  living  room  has  excellent  wall  space  for  bookcases  and  library  furni- 
ture. The  location  of  this  room  makes  it  suitable  for  either  library  or  den.  The  ar- 
rangement of  dining  room  and  kitchen  is  ideal.  The  dining  room  at  the  front  right 
corner  and  kitchen  at  the  rear  are  divided  by  butler  s  pantry. 

The  kitchen  in  this  design  has  received  considerable  thought.  Notice  that  you  are 
able  to  reach  front  entrance  through  the  hall  to  reception  hall  without  passing  through 
the  other  rooms.  Double  action  doors  prove  convenient  between  kitchen  and  dining 
room.  From  the  reception  hall  you  can  pass  directly  into  the  living  room  or  dining 
room  or  into  the  kitchen.  Four  corner  bedrooms  on  second  fioor  are  well  ventilated 
and  easily  accessible  to  hallway  and  bathroom.  This  home  is  fascinating  in  appearance 
and  has  much  of  the  sought-for  distinction.  Of  course  you  will  want  to  know  a  great 
many  things  about  the  Colonial,  if  this  handsome  home  appeals  to  you ;  things  that 
there  is  not  enough  space  to  tell  about  here.  Upon  request  we  will  send  complete  de- 
tail specifications  and  go  into  all  the   interesting  facts.     Write  us  about  your   ideas.

THE  Strathmore  is  different  in  design — it  is  a  home  of  individual  tastes.  By 
noticing  the  photograph  you  will  find  that  the  special  details  are  arranged 
in  groups — double  doors  in  front  entrance,  double  windows  balanced  on  each 
side,  triple  windows  in  dormer  above.  The  double  door  feature  owes  its 
origin  to  architecture  that  was  real  popular  in  Colonial  days.  Today  it  is  again  com- 
ing into  general  favor  in  the  largest  and  highest  class  homes  on  account  of  the  pleasing 
effect  it  gives  to  both  the  interior  and  exterior  of  the  home.  The  pergola  porch  at  one 
side  is  another  feature  that  pleases  the  average  home-builder  with  modern  ideas. 

The  interior  arrangement  will  please  you — notice  the  floor  plan.  The  large  living 
room  is  graced  with  a  beautiful  staircase.  From  the  living  room  thru  wide  arch  you 
enter  the  dining  room  with  kitchen  to  the  rear.  One  bedroom  downstairs  with  three 
more  and  bath  on  the  second  floor  make  just  an  ideal  home. 

This  design  gives  plenty  of  opportunity  for  home-loving  folks  to  express  personal- 
ity and  character  in  the  decorations.  Tliis  one  pictured  here  was  painted  in  white  and 
trimmed  in  green.  Excellent  effects  could  be  had  by  painting  the  hou.se  a  lead  gray 
or  a  yellow  with  white  trim,  or  house  painted  in  brown  and  trimmed  with  white.  The 
living  room — the  one  room  that   belongs  to  the   entire    family — could    be   papered  or

frescoed  in  deep  brown  with  white  ceiling.  Space 
alongside  of  stairway  would  make  a  handsome 
setting  for  a  davenport,  wide  seat,  or  a  piano.  Of 
course,  everyone  has  ideas  for  the  decoration  of 
their  new  home,  and  to  help  them,  the  Aladdin 
Department  of  Service  will  gladly  send  many 
more — and  this  free  of  charge.  Let  us  help  you 
plan  this  ideal  home — the  Strathmore — for  your 
home. 

By  referring  to  page  101  you  will  note  the  style 
of  interior  door  that  is  furnished  for  Aladdin 
Homes.  These  doors,  as  well  as  the  interior  fin- 
ishing material  for  all  Aladdin  houses,  are  made 

from  the  most  select  of  stock  which   is   the    beautifully   grained   Oregon    Fir.      Possibly   no   other 

wood  is  as  attractively  grained  as  Fir,  and  few  other  materials  can  be  decorated  as  richly. 

Many  different  stains  can  be  used  on  Aladdin  Fir  with  great  success,  among  which  are  light 

and  dark  oak  and  dark  mahogany. 

Send   for  complete   detailed  specifications  of  the  Strathmore  which   are   sent  upon  request.     A 

complete  itemized  list  is  given  of  everything  entering  into  the  Strathmore  home.

WHEN  it  comes  to  much  in  a  small  space  the  Tucson 
certainly  leads.  Five  convenient,  well  lighted,  at- 
tractive rooms,  with  good  sized  front  porch  make 
up  this  snug  and  cosy  little  home.  Sash  front 
door,  semi-open  stairs  and  wide  arch  between  liv- 
ing room  and  dining  room  add  materially  to  the  attract- 
iveness of  the  Tucson.  Where  the  exterior  is  painted  either 
a  French  gray  or  seal  brown  and  trimmed  with  white  or 
cream,  and  the  beautifully  grained  interior  fir  trim  is 
either  finished  with  oil  or  stain  and  then  varnished,  the 
Tucson  presents  a  fresh,  attractive  appearance  that  in- 
variably brings  pleasure  and  satisfaction  to  its  owner. 
(Rear  addition  shown  in  photograph  not  included.  See 
pages  104-105.) 

The  Tucson  is  one  of  the  first  Aladdin  designs  and  has 
always  proven  exceptionally  popular.  The  first  year  it  was 
listed  in  the  Aladdin  catalog  it  was  sold  to  four  different 
parties  who  have  built  the  Tucson  again  after  the  first  one 
was  complete. 

A  number  of  companies  have  erected  this  house  in  large 
numbers.     One  customer  in  1913  erected  sixty-four. 

At  the  price  quoted  in  price  list  you  save  between  $150 
to  $275  on  the  material  and  erection  of  the  Tucson.  The 
material  is  prepared  from  carefully  drawn  plans — and 
without  waste.  Hence  you  pay  for  no  lumber  that  is 
wasted  in  sawing  or  fitting  on  the  ground.  Your  car- 
penters will  be  able  to  erect  it  much  faster.  This  saving 
is  also  noticeable,  as  it  usually  cuts  down  time  of  erec- 
tion a  third. 

Send  for  complete  detailed  specifications  of  the  Tucson 
which  will  be  sent  to  you  upon  request.

WHILE  the  Finlcj'  is  popular  with  the  owner 
of  any  sized  lot,  yet  it  finds  special  favor 
in  cities  where  lots  are  sometimes  as  nar- 
row as  30,  or  even  25  feet.  The  Fihley 
can  be  built  very  nicely  on  a  25-foot  lot 
and  still  leave  ample  space  for  a  walk  on  either 
side. 

In  the  Finley  the  designer  has  followed  through- 
out plain,  straight  lines,  yet  when  painted  French 
gray  or  leather  brown  and  trimmed  in  white,  tlie 
owner  of  the  Finley  is  invariably  delighted. 

A  large,  pleasant  front  porch,  si.x  rooms,  bath 
and  closettes  are  found  in  this  remarkably  low 
priced  house.     The  ever  popular  plan  is  followed  of  a  large  livin

room  across  the 
entire  front  with  wide  archway  leading  to  dining  room.  By  a  double-action  door  one 
enters  the  kitchen  direct  from  the  dining  room.  An  attractive  semi-open  stairs  leads 
from  living  room  to  second  floor  where  there  are  to  be  found  three  sleeping  rooms, 
bath  and  closettes.  Those  wanting  a  six-room,  two-story  plain  house  are  invariably 
pleased  with  the  Finley. 

On  an  average,  owners  of  the  Finley  claim  savings  of  $200  to  $325  on  their  hom.es. 
These  estimates  include  savings  on  cost  of  material,  also  savings  on  cost  of  labor. 
When  you  receive  the  material  it  is  entirely  cut-to-fit,  ready  for  erection.  You  pay 
for  only  the  actual  material  used  in  building  your  home — no  more.  Xow,  think  of 
the  good  lumber  that  is  wasted  in  building  the  old-fashioned  way.  .And  you  also  pay 
for  the  extra  labor  which  is  unnecessary  building  an  .\laddin.

THE  Aladdin  two-family  house.     The 
Duplex    is   produced   as   the   result 
of  a  large  demand  we  have  had  for 
a  double  house.    The  double  house 
has  some  very  attractive  features.  It 
enables  its  owner  to  live  in  one  part  and 
secure   a    good   rental    from   the   other,    his 
return  is  consequently  much  greater  than  if 
he  had  built  two  separate  houses.    Besides 
this,    the    double    or    two-apartment    is    a 
necessity  where  ground  space  is  costly  and 
homes  scarce.     The  Duplex  design  has  none  of  the  dis- 
agreeable features  so  common  in  two-apartment  homes. 
Both  first  and  second  floors  arc  complete  homes  in  them- 
selves with  separate  front  and  rear  entrances.     The  floor 
plan   gives   one   an    idea    of   the   convenience   and    com- 
fort   to    be    had    for    both    occupants    of    the    Duplex. 
Both   floors   contain   living   room,    dining  room,    kitchen, 
two    bedrooms,    bath,    pantry,    front    and    rear    porches. 
One    Aladdin    customer   who    has   erected    three    Duplex 
apartment    houses    says    the    completed    cost     of    each 
of  his   Aladdin  buildings  showed  a   net  saving  of  ^560 
each.

O   help  you  to  build  your  home  in  a  most  economical  and  satisfactory  manner  is  the 

T  desire  of  the  Aladdin  Co.  Whenever  the  business  connections  of  Aladdin  can  render

is  anxious  that  you  enjoy  the  benefit  of  the  same. 
For  many  years  we  have  helped  builders  save  money  on  heating,  lighting,  and 
plumbing  fixtures,  and  again  we  offer  our  builders  this  service  so  that  they  may  secure 
equally  high  quality  in  their  home  accessories  as  the  high  quality  of  the  Aladdin 
Home   itself.     And  it  is  also   possible  for  Aladdin   builders  to  secure   these   fixtures   for  their  new 

Aladdin  Home  at  savings  in  price.

systems.       For     the     smaller     houses     the 

Aladdin  Pipelc.ss  Furnace  is  a  most  satis- 

factorj-    heating    system.      Its    first    cost    is 

less    than    that    of    a    base    burner.      It    is 

easily    installed   and   has   every    advantage 

of  the  larger,   more  co.stly  heating  systems 

at   a   great   saving   in   price.      It    is   also   a 

fuel    saver    and    we    recommend    it    after 

having   carefully   watched   its   performance 

in  the  homes  of  more  than  10,000  Aladdin

HERE  is  much  to  interest  the  home   builder  in   the   Rochester  home — a   very 

T       popular  Aladdin  design.     Covering  a  period  of  live  years'  time  since  it  was  tirst 
included  in  the  Aladdin  liook,  its  popularity  has  been  widespread.     It   was 
first  erected  in  northern  ]\Iinnesota  in  the  spring  of  1911.     The  owner  of  this 
Rochester  is  very  high  in  his  praise  of  the  warmth  of  Aladdin  construction 
and  the  handsome  appearance  of  this  design.     Since  that  time,  the  Rochester  has  been 
erected  many  times  in  nearly  every  state  in  the  Union.     One  state  now  has  nineteen 
Rochester  homes  within  its  borders. 

In  design  the  Rochester  is  truly  American — simple,  strong  and  substantial.  Con- 
servative lines  bespeak  dignity  and  personality  of  whicii  this  design  is  a  shining  ex- 
ample. Its  features  are  not  composed  'of  novelties  that  come  and  go,  but  are  made 
up  of  the  careful  touches  that  have  stood  the  test  with  home  builders  for  many 
years.  The  Rochester  has  the  added  advantage  in  point  of  design  of  l)eing  square 
in  shape,  v;hich  always  expresses  niassiveness  and  strength.  While  the  exterior  is 
simple  in  design,  yet  it  is  not  commonplace  or  uninviting.     The  scrolled  rafter  ends

studding  the  eaves  of  house,  dormer  and  porch  roofs,  add  an  artistic  touch  without 
giving  it  an  overburdening  of  trimmings.  Still  another  distinction  noted  in  the 
Rochester  is  the  window  arrangement.  Grouped  in  pairs  in  most  cases  they  add 
strength  to  the  design  of  the  exterior  and  provide  an  abundance  of  light  to  all  rooms 
on  the  interior. 

In  planning  a  home,  the  housewife,  besides  giving  deep  thought  to  the  exterior 
appearance,  takes  a  greater  interest  still  in  the  interior  arrangement.  Housewives  in 
general  have  placed  their  stamp  of  approval  on  the  interior  of  the  Rochester.  The 
arrangement  is  ideal — convenient  and  comfortable,  minimizing  housework.  Note  the 
vestibule,  large  living  room  with  cozy  bedroom  having  projecting  bay  window,  group 
window  in  dining  room,  large  pantry  attached  to  kitchen,  and  rear  exit  grade  cel- 
lar entrance. 

On  a  one-thousand  dollar  lot  the  Rochester  would  normally  sell  for  at  least  $5,500. 
You  can  easily  comprehend  the  profit  available  to  th.e  owner  should  conditions  arise 
that  he  would  want  to  sell  it.  Owners  of  Aladdin  houses  find  that  the  high  quality 
of  finish,  material,  both  inside  and  outside,  helps  make  quick  sales  when  a  sale  is 
desired. 

For  Prices  of  the  Rochester,  refer  to  inside  front  cover.  See  Terms  on  page  2 
and  General  Specifications  on  pages  12  and  13.

SI^IPLE  square  lines  have  been 
here     transformed     into     a 
charming    home.      The    plan 
is  quite  different  from  any- 
thing  else    shown    in    our   book,    yet 
the   arrangement    of    rooms,    conven- 
ience   and    access,    one    rodm    with 
another,   is  excellent.    Note  that  the 
entrance    hall    gives    access    to    three 
different   rooms    and    is    but    a    step 
from  the  kitchen.    The  living  room  is 
separated   from   the   dining  room  by 
the  hall,  with  a  vista  of  two  arches.     Light  is 
admitted  to  hall  by  windows  on  each  side  of 
front  door.     Two  bedrooms,  bath  and  kitchen 
complete  this  snug  design.  The  exterior  is  shin- 
gled, and  shows  very  wide  eaves  with  expose* 
rafters.      Although    the   chimney    is   shown    on 
the  outside  of  the  house,   it  can   be  placed  in 
any  part  of  the  home. 

The  most  noticeable  features  to  visitors  of 
the  Plymouth  is  the  beautiful  interior  finish. 
When  stained  and  oiled  in  the  rich  tones  of  oak 
the  attractive  grain  in  the  fir  finishing  mate- 
rial contrasts  handsomely  with  the  delicate  YXoor  Plan— The  Plymouth 
shades  used  for  interior  decoration.  All  the  fir  material  used  for  interior  finish  in 
every  .\Iaddin  Home  is  carefully  selected  for  the  finest  grain  patterns. 

For  prices  of  the  Plymouth  refer  to  inside  front  cover.  See  General  Specifications

HE  DRESDEN  will  appeal  to  you  as  be- 

Ting  an  ideal  home.  The  picture,  which 
was  taken  on  a  midsummer's  day,  shows 
a  number  of  features  that  are  not  found 
in  the  average  home.  Notice  the  porch — 
the  shelter  and  relief  it  provides  from  the 
hot  summer  sun.  Every  inch  of  the  one  hundred 
and  twenty  square  feet  of  floor  space  on  this  porch 
seems  to  hold  a  charm  for  the  comfort  seeker.  And 
as  much  can  be  said  of  the  inside  of  the  home. 
Notice  the  picture,  showing  windows  raised.  It  is 
possible  to  practically  open  up  the  home  on  four 
sides  giving  the  utmost  in  ventilation,  making  all  rooms  light 
and  airy,  cool  and  pleasant. 

Before  reading  further,  look  over  the  floor  plan  carefully. 
What  do  you  think  of  it?  Isn't  it  just  right  for  convenience — 
doesn't  it  appeal  to  your  ideas  of  "home?"'  Notice  the  long 
stretch — practically  twenty-four  feet — thru  living  room  and 
dining  room.  The  daylight  rooms  are  arranged  on  one  side 
of  the  home  and  possess  every  desired  feature — plenty  of  light 
and  air,  spaciousness  and  ease  in  accessibility ;  adapted  to  any 
arrangement  or  setting  of  furniture.  Plenty  of  space  in  the  bed 
rooms  with  good  closets  in  each,  makes  a  home  that  will  give 
you  great  satisfaction  and  much  convenience.  Your  friends 
will  agree  with  your  judgment  in  selecting  this  home  of  homes 
— the  Dresden.  Turn  to  page  75  and  notice  the  interesting 
views  of  the  interior.  For  price  of  the  Dresden  refer  to  price 
list  on  inside  of  front  cover.  See  General  Specifications,  pages 
12  and  13.  Detail  specifications  for  the  Dresden  will  be  sent

HIS  bungalow  is  worthy  of  consideration  because  it  was  planned  by  one  of  our 

T       superintendents  for  a  home  of  his  own.     It  was  made  exactly  as  he  planned 
it  to  suit   his  experienced  sense,   fitness  and   ideas.     Thus  an    individuality 
was  brought  about  that  attracts  the  attention  of  every  passer-by. 
It  is  a  home  that  is  pleasant  and  has  an  abundance  of  space  within  for 
comfortable  living  and  would  give  to  anyone  that  possessed  it  a  great  pride 
of  ownership. 
The  exterior   is  artistic  and  pleasing  to  the  eye.     The   broad  sweep  of  the  roof  carried  out 
over  the  porch  adorned  with  a  dormer,    breaking  the  wide  expanse,   is  perfect   in  proportion  and 
balance.     The  square  divided  lights  in  the  upper  sash  of  the  windows  lend  an  added  charm  to 
the  exterior. 

The  main  floor  comprises  a  large  living  room  entered  directly  from  the  porch.  Off  of  this 
is  a  spacious  dining  room  and  den.  .Attractive  French  glass  doors  enable  the  owner  to  combint 
these  rooms  in  one.  The  fireplace  .'?ho\vn  in  the  floor  plan  could  be  built  in  the  opposite  end 
of   the    living   room,    if   desired,    or  could    be   omitted   entirely. 

Two  bedrooms  furni.shed  with  closettes  as  well  as  bath  and  kitchen  finish  the  floor  plan. 
Directly  at  the  rear  of  the  kitchen  is  a  very  convenient  and  modern  grade  cellar  entrance  addition, 
giving   access  to   the   kitchen    and   cellar. 

For  price  of  the  Cadillac  refer  to  inside  front  cover.  See  General  Specifications  on  pages 
12  and  13.  Detail  specifications  for  The  Cadillac  will  be  sent  upon  request.  See  Terms  on

EFORE  reading  this  description,  what  did  you  think  of  the  Edison?     Well, 

Bit  has  impressed  others  the  same  way — as  being  one  of  the  prettiest  little 
bungalows  ever  built.  And  every  owner  is  more  pleased  with  the  Edison 
after  it  is  completed.  When  the  beautiful  lines  of  this  home  are  fully  realized 
— then  it  is  possible  to  see  the  broad  and  e.xpansive  porch  sweeping  across  the 
entire  front  of  the  house,  also  the  careful  formation  of  the  roof  covering  the 
porch.  And  did  you  notice  the  broad  eaves  with  exposed  rafters?  This 
feature  seems  to  belong  to  this  home  alone.  And  the  diamond  divided  lights  in  the 
upper  sash  are  in  complete  harmony  with  the  balance  of  the  beautiful  home.  Study 
the  interior,  the  arrangement  of  rooms.  Isn't  it  ideal?  The  living-room  and  dining-room, 
divided  bv  an  archwav,  are  reallv  one  big  room,  but  still  they  retain  the  convenience  of  two. 
Each  sleeping  room  affords  plenty  of  air.  The  bathroom  is  well  planned  and  is  large  enough 
for   bathroom   fixtures  with   plenty   of  space   to  spare. 

For  design,  convenience  and  price,  don't  you  think  the  Edison  is  the  preUiest  little  bunga- 
low you  have  seen?  .\nd  when  this  bungalow  is  stained  a  dark  brown  and  trimmed  in  pure 
white  you  have  a  most  artistic   and   beautiful   result. 

For  price  of  the  Edison  refer  to  inside  of  front  cover.  See  Terms  on  page  2  and  General 
Specifications  on   pages   12  and   13.

ID  you  ever  see  a  more  beautiful  picture  of  its  kind  than  the  one  shown  here? 

DA  mass  of  lights  and  shadows  softening  the  greens,  browns  and  grays  of  the 
foHage;  shingles  and  cobbles  delight  the  eye.  You  can  almost  feel  the  touch 
of  the  sunbeams  patterning  the  lawn,  and  you  just  want  to  stroll  up  the 
steps  and  into  the  inviting  shade  of  the  porch.  Most  effectively  has  the  pure 
white  that  borders  every  outline  been  used  to  contrast  the  deep  brown  of  the 
shingled  upper  story. 

The  exterior  of  the  Shadow  Lawn  is  one  that  has  appealed  greatly  to  our  customers. 
A  slight  diversion  from  the  customary  is  had  in  the  wide  sided  first-story  with  second 
story  shingled. 

Notice  also  the  detail  of  the  front  of  the  Shadow  Lawn.  On  both  first  and  second 
stories  grouped  or  triple  w^indows  are  used  in  perfect  harmony  and  balance. 

The  wide  porch  stretching  across  the  front  of  the  house  is  another  feature  that  is 
desirable  in  a  home  of  comfort. 


See    prices   on    inside    of   front    cover.

Examining  further  we  find  a  living  room  of  expansive  dimensions,  twenty-eight  feet 
one  way  and  fourteen  feet  the  other.  ^Matching  the  size  of  the  hving  room  is  a  dming 
room  sixteen  feet  in  depth  and  twehe  feet  broad;  large  enough  for  a  real  banquet. 
The  kitchen,  pantry  and  grade  entrance  occupy  the  other  rear  half. 

The  second  story  illustrates  four  bedrooms,  bath  and  closets.  Each  bedroom  is  on 
a  corner  of  the  house  giving  free  ventilation  and  an  abundance  of  light. 

The  Shadow  Lawn  eaves  project  four  feet,  rather  a  Swiss  idea,  and  are  supported. 
by  well  proportioned  brackets.  The  porte  cochere  at  the  left  is  not  included  in  the 
price  quoted.  Should  you  desire  it  added  to  the  home  it  is  furnished  readi-cut 
at  the  extra  price  of  $103.00.  The  Shadow  Lawn  is  surely  a  home  of  most  striking 
individuality. 

For  Price  of  the  Shadow  Lawn  refer  to  inside  of  front  cover.  See  Terms  on  page 
2  and  General  Specifications  on  pages  12  and  13.

AN  unusuiilly  attractive  exterior  and  a  sense  ot 
roominess  are  features  that  make  the  Sheridan 
one  of  our  most  popular  bungalows.  The  low, 
sloping  roof,  the  scrolled  eaves  and  shingled 
porch  and  step  rails,  together  with  the  siding,  permit 
a  great  latitude  in  the  decorative  scheme  and  with  the 
use  of  harmonious  painting  and  staining  materials, 
these  features  can  be  developed  in  a  most  pleasing 
manner.  The  expansive  porch,  which  extends  across 
the  entire  front,  is  well  shaded  by  the  broad,  over- 
hanging roof. 

The  convenient  and  inviting  arrangement  of  the 
several  rooms  are  outlined  at  the  left.  Your  attention 
is  called  to  the  square  and  good  dimensions  of  all  the 
rooms,  especially  the  living  room,  with  its  attractive 
group  windows  and  arch  leading  to  the  dining  roon^. 
Divided  square  lights  are  furnished  for  upp.  r  square 
sash  of  all  windows,  although  they  will  W  furnished 
with  single  large  glass  if  preferred.  The  kitchen  is 
of  ample  size  and  has  proven  very  popular  among 
iiousewives.  Pantry  with  window  is  situated  off  the 
kitchen.  Three  good  sized  bedrooms  with  closets 
complete  the  plan  of  the  Sheridan  No.  2. 

See  bottom  of  page  47  for  interior  photographs  of 
the  Sheridan  living  room  antl  dining  room. 

Few  moderately  priced  bungalows  offer  so  n\any

Interior  Doors  an^  Lock  Sots 

Furnished  with  Every  Aladdin  Home 

THIS  bt-autiful  perfectly  grained  door  with  two  panels  and  the  five  cross 
panel  type  door  are  furnished  for  every  Aladdin  House.  A  real  hard- 
wood, but  softer  than  oak  or  birch.  Hard  enough  to  take  a  hardwood 
polish,  but  soft  enough  to  work  easily.  Aladdin  houses  are  finished  bet- 
ter than  most  new  houses  in  your  neighborhood.  We  guarantee  all  your 
inside  finish  to  be  of  exactly  the  same  high-class  material  that  this  picture 
was  taken  from — clear  lumber,  beautiful  grain — the  best  obtainable.  Any 
stain  furnished. 

Here  are  some  of  the  many 
beautiful  details  that  are  to  be 
found  in  Aladdin  Homes. 

On  careful  inspection  you 
will  find  that  money  cannot 
buy  a  better  quality.  Fir  is 
distinguished  for  the  wonder- 
fully silky  texture  and  softness 
of  grain.  You  will  never  find 
two  panels  of  the  same  design 
of  grain  and  each  one  is  an  in- 
teresting study  in  itself. 

The  lock  set  trimmings  for 
the  interior  doors  are  of  the 
richest  finished  brushed  brass. 

The  design  on  the  escutch- 
eon is  an  oak  leaf  pattern  that 
stands  in  relief  on  the  frosted 
background. 

This  beautiful  lock  set  is 
made  exclusively  for  Aladdin 
Houses.

HERE'S  a  home.  From  every  view  it  breathes  a  welcome,  inviting  you  into  its 
big,  strong,  protecting  walls  to  find  comfort,  pleasure,  and  satisfaction.  From 
the  front  it  strikes  you  pleasingly,  and,  as  you  approach,  the  impression  is 
heightened  by  the  finished  detail  of  roof,  eaves,  columns,  and  porch  work. 

The  e.xterior  of  the  Virginia  always  pleases — the  design  being  founded  on 
conservative  lines.  The  wide  porch  stretching  across  the  front  is  always  a  pop- 
ular feature,  especially  the  one  designed  for  the  Virginia.  Slender  spindles  are  extended 
from  the  rail  to  the  ground  creating  a  very  neat  appearance.  The  bay  at  the  side  breaks 
the  long  straight  sidewall,  thus  adding  attractiveness  to  the  e.xterior  and  providing  a 
cosy  corner  for  the  interior.  The  special  scrolled  bracket  which  is  used  for  decoration 
under  eaves  of  house  roof  and  dormer  roof  add  a  touch  of  beauty  to  the  home. 

The  Virginia  as  shown  here  is  painted  gray  with  white  trim.     Many  other  attractive

schemes  could  be  used  with  equal  or  greater  success.  The  belt  dividing  first  and  second 
stories  suggests  a  dark  color — possibly  brown  for  second  story  and  cream  for  first  story, 
with  white  trim. 

The  Virginia  is  a  popular  design  among  Aladdin  customers.  It  has  been  erected 
many  times  thruout  the  country.  Owners  are  loud  in  their  praise  of  it.  Dr.  Corn  of 
Ohio,  writes  as  follows:    "The  material  was  excellent  and  every  piece  fitted  exactly." 

Mr.  J.  F.  Kugler  of  Pennsylvania,  in  a  letter  says;  "I  have  saved  between  S300 
and  $500.     I  have  a  fine  home — The  \'irginia.'" 

Mrs.  M.  E.  Lloyd,  of  Florida,  who  has  erected  two  Aladdins,  in  a  letter  says: 
"Everything  went  together  like  clock-work.     IMy  Virginia  is  a  fine  home." 

Just  inspect  the  arrangement  of  the  interior.  A  living  room  that  stretches  from 
the  bay  window  on  one  side  of  the  house  to  the  other,  twenty-two  feet,  with  the  dining 
room  separated  by  a  wide  arch — a  freedom  and  expanse  usually  found  only  in  much 
larger  houses.  One  of  the  most  interesting  features  on  the  interior  is  the  bay  window. 
This  is  most  usually  converted  into  a  cosy  corner  and  fitted  with  window  seat,  sofa 
cushions,  etc.,  making  it  the  most  popular  spot  in  the  home.  The  cosy  corner  in  bay 
window  and  handsome  open  stairway  make  a  pleasing  impression  on  entering  the  home. 
Kitchen,  four  bedrooms,  bath,  and  closets  complete  this  beautiful  home.  It  is  built  to 
satisfy  the  hardest  to  please.     It  is  a  continual  delight  to  every  owner. 

For  Price  of  the  \'irginia  refer  to  inside  of  front  cover.  See  Terms  on  page  2  and

Aladdin  Closette 


Modern  ideas  in  relation  to  closets  are  changing  and  while 
the  housewife  has  always  spoken  of  the  need  of  good  closet 
room,  a  little  reflection  will  disclose  the  .^surprising  fact  that 
most  closets  devote  nearly  thrcc-quailcrs  of  the  space  to 
doors,  elbow  room  and  ability  to  walk  into  them,  and  one- 
quarter  of  the  space  to  actual  storage  space. 

Here  is  a  practical  plan  than  utilizes  just  A'/i  square  feet  of 
floor  space  and  vet  gives  more  hanging  space  and  storage 
space  than  the  usual  four  by  six  loot  closet  that  occupies  24 
square   feet  of  floor  space! 

By  the  use  of  coat  hooks,  costing  about  5  cents  a  dozen  at 
notion  stores,  it  is  easily  possible  to  hang  twelve  suits  or 
robes  in  this  space,  each  one  being  easily  found  and 
removed.  Can  greater  capacity  be  gained  in  the  average 
good  sized  closet?  Above  the  large  conu>a''tnient  is  space 
for  hats,  bedding  or  other  things  of  like  characlci,  and  below 
a  wide,  deep  space  for  shoes  and  the  many  other  articles 
that   may  require  a   place  out  of  the  way. 

The  cabinet  is  six  feet  high  and.  as  in  many 
instances,    it    can    be    inset    into    the    bedroom     j      /*  I   /^ 
wall,   so  that    it   utilizes   the   six    inches   of   wall     1      (^  L.W

THE  many  pleasures  and  advantages  of  summer  cottage  life  need  no  argument 
here.  Thousands  and  thousands  of  American  famihes  enjoy  this  stimulating 
life  for  several  weeks  or  months  each  summer. 
Sovereign  Readi-Cut  Summer  Cottages  are  distinguished  from  most  sum- 
mer cottages  by  the  superiority  of  materials  and  construction  and,  while  being  wonder- 
fully low  in  price,  give  every  service  demanded  over  a  long  period  of  years.  Not  the 
least  of  the  pleasures  derived  by  our  customers  many  times  is  that  of  actually  erecting 
the  cottage  themselves.  Their  vacation  is  planned  with  the  arrival  of  the  material  and 
the  joy  of  creating  and  building  their  oil'h  cottage  lends  a  keen  appreciation  to  its  use 
in  future  years. 

The  frames  of  all  summer  cottages  are  of  good,  clean  No.  1  dressed  lumber;  of 
proper  size  and  design,  not  greatly  dissimilar  to  dwelling  houses.  The  siding  is  prac- 
tically clear  Yellow  Pine  or  Oregon  Fir,  tongued  and  grooved.  The  rooms  are  all  open 
to  the  rafters,  the  partitions  being  of  clear  Yellow  Pine  or  Oregon  Fir.  Ceiling  parti- 
tion lumber  finished  both  sides.    The  flooring  is  clear  Yellow  Pine  or  Oregon  Fir.

ALADDIN  RGddi- cut  Barns 


ALADDIN  SPECIAL 
Barn 


THE  word  Aladdin  means  as  much  to  barns  as  it  does  to  homes.     Aladdin  barns 
are   built    for   strength   and    durability.      The    quality    of   the    material    is   far 
superior  to  that  found  in  the  average  barn. 
Each  Aladdin  Barn  is  very  strongly  constructed,  in  fact,  stronger  than  it  is 
usual  to  build  barns  of  the  same  size  erected  by  usual  methods.     The  timber 
in  every  barn  is  heavier  and  stronger  than  it  is  really  necessary  to  use  in  a 
building  of  the  same  size.     We  appreciate  the  great  weight  and  strains  that  are  put  in  farm  barns 
at  times,  and  each  barn  is  constructed  so  as  to  stand  a  greater  weight  than  it  will  ever  be   called 
upon  to  hold. 

They  are  not  only  constructed  of  very  heavy  timber,  but  are  braced  and  counter-braced  wherever 
this  bracing  will  increase  the  strength  of  the  building. 

Each  barn  has  material  cut  to  fit  ready  to  nail  in  place  the  same  as  all  our  other  regular  dwell- 
ings and  houses.  In  fact,  they  are  better  finished  than  it  is  usual  to  build  ordinar>'  barns  through- 
out the  country.  All  of  the  material  is  dressed  so  that  the  inside  of  each  building  presents  a 
finished  appearance  and  is  not  merely  of  rough,   unfinished  lumber. 

We  furnish  all  the  different  kinds  and  sizes  of  nails  required  in  the  erection  of  the  building; 
heavy  barn  door  tracks  and  rollers  for  the  large  doors  to  slide  upon;  hinges  and  locks  for  the 
smaller  doors.     The  windows  have  the  glass  already  in  them. 

We  will  furnish  any  colors  of  paint  that  you  may 
desire  for  the  outside  of  the  buildings,  two  coats; 
shingles  or  roofing,  whichever  your  prefer,  for  the  roof 
of  the  building. 

We  have  quoted  the  prices  on  the  barns  so  that  you 
can  purchase  either  the  barn  itself,  or  so  that  you  can 
leave  out  the  first  and  second  floors  and  the  stalls,  or 
so  that  you  can  purchase  the  building  with  the  first 
floor  added,  or  with  the  second  floor  added,  or  with 
both  floors  added.  We  have  also  quoted  the  price 
.separate  on  the  stalls,  so  that  you  can  add  any  number 
of  stalls  you  desire  with  the  building.  For  example,  a 
gambrel  roof  barn,  size  20.x -10  ft.,  without  first  or  sec- 
ond floors  or  mangers  would  cost  $545.00.  First  floor 
furnished  with  tlie  barn  would  cost  $106.27  extra,  or 
$651.27  for  barn  and  first  floor  complete.  For  a  gambrel 
barn,  size  20x40  ft.,  with  first  and  adding  second  floors 
and  mangers,  for  two  stalls  the  cost  would  be  $705.51 
complete. 

Each  bam  as  we  furnish  it,  and  as  li.sted  in  the  cost 
on  the  barns,  will  include  a  second  floor  at  one  end 
above  the  stalls.  This  second  floor  will  be  twelve  feet 
long  and  the  width  of  the  end  of  the  barn,-  and  is 
always  included  in  the  first  cost  of  the  bam. 

Many  people  prefer  to  purchase  the  barn  without  the 
first  floor,  which  is  really  unnecessary  in  many  cases, 
where  hay  and  grain  are  intended  to  be  stored  itito 
mows.  Others  prefer  to  put  in  either  a  part  or  the 
entire  first  floor  in  cement,  so  that  we  have  quoted  the 
price  of  the  barn  exclusive  of  both  floors  and  stalls, 
and  have  listed  .separate  the  cost  of  each.  This  will 
enable  you  to  purcha.se  the  barn  itself  and  add  either 
the  first  or  second  floor  or  any  number  of  stalls  desired. 

The  Aladdin  Special  Barn  was  built  to  meet  the  great  demand  for  a  barn  large  enough  to  shelter 
two  or  three  hor.scs  with  wagons,  etc.  Plenty  of  room  on  the  first  floor  for  three  stalls,  ^yith  a  large 
mow  on  second  floor  for  hay,  straw  and  grain.  At  the  price  quoted,  the  second  floor  is  included, 
but  the  first  floor  is  omitted,  as  many  owners  prefer  a  cement  or  concrete  first  floor  on  account  of 
the  convenience  in  cleaning  stalls,  etc.

I 


The  Aladdin  Craftsman  Buffet 
is  an  original  Aladdin  design  that 
has  proven  very  popular  with  our 
home  builders.  In  design  it  is 
possibly  the  most  pleasing  and 
serviceable  of  any  offered  to  the 
home  builder.  Roomy  and  well 
arranged,  it  has  four  sets  of 
shelves  with  a  divided  light  glass 
door  for  each  section.  The  lower 
section  consists  of  five  drawers 
for  linen  and  silver.  The  two 
drawers  at  the  bottom  will  please 
the  housewife.  Being  especially 
large  they  provide  an  excellent 
space  for  tablecloths  and  other 
large  pieces.  The  illustration  here 
shows  the  Aladdin  Buffet  finish 
in  ]\Iahogany  and  trimmed  in 
White  Enamel.  It  takes  an 
enamel  finish  as  readily  as  it 
does  the  stain  finish.  .\laddin

EXACT  WORDS  OF  OWNERS 

The  complete  address   of   any  Aladdin  owner 
listed  here  will  te  sent  to  anyone  upon  request. 


Massachusetts. 
I  Lave  found  everything  in  all  my 
dealins's  with  you  just  as  represented 
and  I  also  know  for  a  fact  that  on  the 
lumber  bill  alone  I  saved  easily  ^.100.00 
All  the  lumber  was  there  and  had  plenty 
of  everything.  I  shall  take  great  pleas- 
ure in  showing  my  bungalow,  the  "Kur- 
bank"  to  others  and  feel  ready  to 
i-e(omniend  you  to  all. 

GEO.  S  H.\RDY. 

Ohio. 
I  am  very  thankful  to  say  I  am  well 
nleased  with  ray  house  in  every  respect. 
\Ve  are  now  comfortably  fixed  up  with 
:ill  modern  conveniences  and  you  can 
think  of  ns  as  a  happy  little  family  in 
a  beautiful,  little  Aladdin  bungalow.  So 
many  others  rould  be  proud  owners  of 
-■Vladdin  homes  if  they  only  knew  what 
a  good,  honest  firm  you  are  to  deal 
with.  You  surely  have  been  loyal  to  me 
in  every  respect  and  if  I  ever  build 
again  I  will  prove  to  you  I  appreciate 
vour   interest  and   kindliness. 

J.  L.  SANDERS. 


Indiana. 
We  are  glad  to  recommend  you  to 
others,  as  we  are  so  well  satisfied  with 
our  liou^e  and  all  i)ur  dealings  witli  you. 
\\'e  have  had  so  many  to  admire  our 
little  cottage  the  "Chester"  and  are  very 
proud  of  it.  All  the  material  wa.s 
"No.  1."  every  piece  fitted  well  and 
saved  carpenters  bills. 

ORUS    J.    WHITE. 


Ohio. 
We  surely  are  pleased  with  our 
Maples  Bungalow  and  cannot  say 
enough  to  praise  it.  Everything  fit  fine 
and  am  iilcased  to  say  I  saved  between 
.S(!(M).00  and  ifTOO.OO  in  building  bv  the 
rcadi-cut  method.  FED   WENT. 


Ohio. 
The  material  in  my  Winthrop  was 
just  as  represented  and  1  am  well 
pleased  with  it  in  every  way.  I  have 
considered  neither  time  nor  workman- 
ship on  it  and  it  has  gone  together  per- 
fectly. The  painter  told  me  that  he 
found  the  .ioints  more  perfect  in  this 
liousf"  than  any  he  has  ever  worked  on 
aii<l  he  has  painted  some  of  the  highest 
priced  ones  in  this  city.  I  assure  you 
that  anyone  who  wishes  to  see  it  will 
be  allowed  that  privilege.  I  estimate 
that  I  saved  more  than  .$.'^00.00  on  my 
home.     Yours  truly.     H.  W.   SIEFER. 


Oklahoma. 

I  am  more  than  pleased  with  my 
"Plymouth"  bungalow.  The  cariienters 
didn't  use  a  saw  in  putting  up  the 
frame  and  everything  went  together 
Ijcrfcctly.  It  is  an  ideal  little  home — not 
only  a  house.  Ever.vone  who  has  seen 
it  jtraises  the  beautiful  finishing  lumber. 

\\'e  only  had  the  pleasure  of  living  in 
our  Al.iddin  three  months  when  I  was 
called  lo  this  city  where  I  am  teaching. 
I  hope  in  the  next  few  years  I  can  build 
another  Aladdin.  There's  a  pleasure  or 
liride  which  accompanies  the  Ahiddin 
lionie  that  we  cannot  aret  awav  from. 
I  figure  I  saved  .'^(K)0.no' bv  building  bv 
this  method.  TITOS.   U.  STCNIKX. 


Pennsylvania. 
I  think  (he  Aladdin  Readi-cut  system 
is  the  only  way  to  build  a  house,  be- 
cause you  save  a  lot  on  both  labor  and 
lumber.  1  saved  at  least  .f.'OO.OO  on  my 
house.  l'eoi>le  came  to  see  it  from  a 
distance  of  <iO  miles  and  all  liked  it 
very  much.  I  am  always  glad  to  show 
it  to  anyone  as  I  am  proud  of  it. 

CLAYTON    W.    FARBER. 


Maryland. 
My  Edison  is  completed  and  to  say 
that  I  am  pleased  is  putting  it  very 
mild  indeed.  .My  honse  is  built  upon  a 
knoll  .aid  raised  three  feet  above 
ground.  The  picture  in  the  catalog  en- 
tirely fails  to  do  it  justice.  During  its 
construction  it  was  visited  and  watched 
li.V  scores  of  people  and  was  fairly 
commented  upon  by  our  local  newspaper 
on  two  occasions  as  to  its  api)earance 
and  the  material  entering  into  its  con- 
struction. "Edison"  is  the  password 
and   all   is   well. 

PATRICK  REEDY. 


Pennsylvania. 
We  believe  our  "Marsdcn"  is  second 
to  none;  are  more  th.in  satisfied  both 
with  the  liouse  and  your  (Jolden  Rule 
business  methods.  We  wisli  you  in- 
creasing prosperity.  If  we  were  to  build 
again,  we  would  surely  have  another 
Aladdin.  J.  A.   M<-   III'Gll. 


Pennsylvania. 
My  experience  in  building  my  Roches- 
ter has  l>een  very  beneficial  to  me,  not 
only  from  a  financial  viewpoint,  but 
from  a  practical  side,  as  I  have  followed 
the  mode  of  construction  from  founda 
tion  up,  and  tried  to  find  the  weak 
points  vvith  the  result  that  I  can  truly 
say  that  neither  my  carpenters  or  my- 
self can  say  toda.v  that  there  are  an.v. 
The  entire  transaction  was  completed  in 
a  pleasant  businesslike  way  and  I  feel 
assured  we  are  mutually  benefited  by 
same.  Your  method  of  dealing  with  a 
customer  makes  it  impossible  to  be  any- 
thing else  tlian  genuine  boosters  for 
Aladdin.  T.   .T.   McDERMOTT. 


New  York. 
Would  say  I  am  more  than  pleased 
with  my  Kentucky  bungalow  which  is 
built  on  I^aurel  Ave.  It  coincs  up  to  all 
the  requirements  of  my  needs.  A 
number  of  uiy  friends  won<ler  how  a 
bungalow  like  it  ciin  be  cut  at  the  fac- 
tory and  then  constructed :  or  as  you 
say,  Readi  cut.  But  I  <an  understand 
it  as  I  am  a  carpenter.  Am  enclosing- 
two   views  of  my  bungalow. 

EDW.\.RD  C.   SAYRE. 


Indiana. 
I  have  just  finished  building  one  of 
your  Readi-cut  houses,  the  Stanhope, 
and  want  to  express  my  gratitude  to 
you  for  making  it  possible  for  a  poor 
man  to  have  a  home.  Having  made  a 
personal  investigation  and  inspection  of 
the  Readi-cut  houses  of  the  largest 
mail  orders  in  the  world.  I  am  satisfied 
tliat  the  .Vladdin  Readi-cut  material  is 
far  superior  to  theirs  and  the  i)rices 
the  most   reasonable.
